It is known as a village of simple pottery made by the old-fashioned technique of crushing the soil with a Chinese mortar using the water of Tanigawa River and baking it in a climbing kiln using firewood.
It became famous nationwide after British potter Bernard Leach visited in 1954, and was designated as an important intangible cultural property of Japan in 1995.
