Experience the creation of only one work in the world with Awaji tiles, a traditional industry with a history of 400 years.

Awaji tiles, along with Iwami tiles and Sanshu tiles, are counted as one of the three major tiles in Japan. Among them, Awajishima boasts the largest market share in the country for Ibushi roof tiles.
Awaji Ibushi tiles are made of high-quality clay from Awajishima and are characterized by the clearness of "Ibushi silver" with deep luster created by unique firing methods and smoking conditions.

You can experience creating "tiles", a local industry in Awajishima, as "tile coasters" for drinks.

The coaster of the tiles maximizes the moisture control effect of the tiles created by the porous structure, and magically absorbs the condensation of the glass with overwhelming water absorbing power. You can experience the wisdom of your predecessors and the goodness of Japanese architecture in hot and humid Japan again through this single tile seat.
The silver brilliance of the Awaji clay, which is baked in a special baking method that reproduces the old-fashioned texture, has a somewhat modern aspect while feeling a sophisticated retro taste.

It is possible to create works not only with Japanese design but also with designs full of diverse sensibilities and originality, so not only adults but also children can have fun experience.
Why don't you enjoy the quiet time of passion for making your work and try to make only one original tile coaster in the world?
