Exploring the Origins and Future of Craftsmanship
Our products and documentary materials tell the story of “Craftsmanship”, cultivated for generations in the pottery town of Tokoname. Recent projects range from the restoration of historic structures to the creation of new, innovative ceramics with the collaboration of artists, architects, and experts from various fields.
Passing on Tradition - The Pursuit of Creating Attractive, Innovative Products
LIXIL Ceramics Lab is for the ceramic production in Tokoname, where one of the six Japanese old kilns located with 1000 years history of making potteries.
Here, we are challenging for new innovation and possibilities in the ceramic technology, which we have inherited through the long history of the pottery production.
