Shigaraki ceramic ware was developed using the pottery-friendly soil of Shigaraki. Certified as a national traditional craft, Shigaraki ceramic techniques continue to be used to produce not only raccoon dog figurines but also tea utensils, tiles, bathtubs and other products that are useful in daily life.
The round window-styled screen at the entrance is made of a large ceramic piece measuring over 1.8m in diameter and features the hallmark characteristics of Shigaraki ceramic. Despite being the first attempt at making a screen, it was a success thanks to the skilled techniques of traditional craftsmen who have experience in manufacturing bathtubs.
