Onta Ware Hakeme Large Plate - 27 cm - D / 小鹿田焼 大皿 OG-04 Musk / 麝香 — WarmTo reach the village of Onta ware, you travel into the mountains of Hita, Oita Prefecture. Before seeing the kilns, you hear them. The soft, rhythmic sound of karausu traditional water powered wooden mills echoes through the valley as they slowly crush the local clay.
