Echizen Pottery Industry Cooperative Association Senior General Manager
Echizen ware has a long history dating back to the Heian period.
Each generation of potters since then has made the effort to pass on the traditions of Echizen ware to their successors.
The role of the Echizen ware Cooperative Association is to broaden the appeal of Echizen ware and bring it to the notice of a wider audience. We need to protect this heritage for future generations, and yet modernize into a successful industry.
The members of the association have entered into joint ventures for the development of Echizen ware. We hope for your support for Echizen ware.
Echizen Pottery Industry Cooperative Association
