Onta Ware Tobikanna and Hakeme Small Plate - 12.5 cm - 4 Options / 小鹿田焼 小皿 Option:D As water is absorbed andTo 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.
