Obori Soma Ware Manufacturer Matsunaga Kiln by to-ripple.inc

Ten years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, an Obori Soma Ware manufacturer Matsunaga Kiln made a fresh start in a new place.

Matsunaga Kiln was located in Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture, producing the designated traditional crafts with more than 300 years of history. Nine years after the earthquake, Namie Town was still designated as a ‘difficult-to-return zone’, so the kiln decided to relocate and started this project.
