With a history of 1400 years, roofing tiles have protected Japanese houses, including shrines and temples. Among them are the "Onishi," who have the masterful skills of craftsmen who, without using blueprints or molds, draw a blueprint in their head while looking at the blueprint with their own eyes, and finish the work using only the sense of their fingertips and a handmade spatula. You can make a one-of-a-kind onigawara by learning individually from an "Onishi" how to make onigawara tiles by hand using "name-do," soil that is over 2 million years old.

Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

Awaji Island is one of the three major production areas of tiles in Japan, and boasts the highest production volume of oxidized tiles, which have a shiny silver finish.
Kawara tiles have a history of over 1,400 years, and tile production has been continuing on Awaji Island for over 400 years.
Furthermore, the clay used to make Awaji tiles is still clay from over 2 million years ago, and has very fine particles called "name clay." By baking (smoking) it in a kiln, beautiful tiles with a silvery shine are created.
In Japan, onigawara roof tiles have also been used to ward off evil spirits since ancient times.
Even today, these onigawara tiles are carefully made one by one by an "oni-shi" (craftsman) without the use of machines.

Normally, you don't get to see a master oni-shi making onigawara tiles, but in this experience, you can watch the master oni-shi's craftsmanship up close and make onigawara tiles together with him.
Since the event is limited to one group, you can make onigawara tiles without having to worry about other people.
If there is anything you would like to ask the Oni-shi or if you have any questions about how it is made, you can ask him at any time. It is an experience where you can experience traditional techniques in a private setting.
