Kurume is the centre of Tochiku pottery — a glazing tradition dating to the Edo period, characterized by a rustic iron-rich glaze that fires to deep tenmoku brown with amber and mahogany overtones, applied asymmetrically to preserve the hand-touch of the maker. A handful of small wood-firing kilns east of Kurume Station continue the tradition, typically run by multi-generation potter families who fire only a few times a year.

**Kiln firing events:** The twice-annual wood-firing (spring and autumn) is open to a limited number of visitors. Attendance requires emailing the kiln in advance. The 72-hour continuous firing process ends with the unloading — watching the kiln master pull pieces from 1300°C heat is like watching alchemy. **Workshop access:** The kiln occasionally accepts 1-day throwing workshops (¥8,000 including materials and a finished piece). Availability is limited but the workshop uses the same clay body and local materials as the production pieces.
