Local Pottery

 
Fujina, Sodeshi, and Rakuzan are the three representative styles of Matsue pottery. Fujina, based near Tamatsukuri Onsen, has a slipware technique for adding patterns with cosmetic mud. Sodeshi, based near the Shimane Art Museum, produces Japanese and Western style pottery with warm, natural colours. Rakuzan, based near Shimane University, has Korean influences and was a favourite of the feudal lords of Matsue.
