Tengudani Kiln Site is a historic ruin of extremely high value located in the rich mountains of Arita Town, where Yi Sam-pyeong, revered as the father of Japanese porcelain, is said to have first begun full-scale porcelain firing. The remains of the climbing kiln built by utilizing the slope vividly convey the prominent pottery technology of the time and the passion for craftsmanship that brought a revolution throughout Japan to the modern era. Standing in this sacred space where the silence of the deep forest spreads, the breath of the artisans who burned fire here centuries ago seems audible, deeply stimulating travelers' intellectual curiosity. Away from urban noise, it is an optimal place for an intellectual retreat to touch the roots of Japanese traditional beauty deeply.
