- Overview
-
- In this experience, we will explore the history of Kawara—the traditional roof tiles of Japan. Typically featuring a design with the fearless faces of ogres and gargoyles, these carved tiles found at the ends of the main roof ridge have been protecting the roofs of Japanese buildings from evil, and rainwater, since ancient times. I will teach you how to make a small, simple Onigawara tile with a demon face. After making the Onigawara, I will fire the Onigawara tile in a kiln at the factory. Japan tile production has modernized over the years, but wouldn't you like to make an ogre tile the way it did in the past?

To celebrate our opening, we are currently offering a special discount price. We accept groups of 1-35 people. For groups that more than 5 people, the location will change. Originally, making Onigawara is difficult. However, by our own developed procedure, even children and people with clumsy hands can make an ONI. Experience in making an original demon from scratch, like no other.
