01 CLAY REFINING
BUSINESS

Since the 9th year of the Heisei era (1997), we have been producing a product called "Kasama Clay" at our current clay refining plant. Kasama Clay, containing a high level of iron and characterized by its red-brown color and excellent plasticity, has contributed to the advancement of the local wheel throwing technique. We produce approximately 55 tons annually, which is utilized both locally and nationally.
