Onta Firing is the traditional ceramic art of Hita area with 300 years of history,
and ceramic making is still performed flourishingly in this area.
The characteristic of the ceramic is its simplicity and beauty, and all processes are handmade.
There are approximately ten ceramic-making workshops along a mountain stream,
which is still the village of ceramics rather than a sightseeing spot.
