Tobe Ware Torchlight Monument
砥部焼聖火台モニュメント
Tobe Ware Torchlight Monument is a giant monument of Tobe Ware, about 4 meters high and 1 meter in diameter, located in Tomochi, Ehime Prefecture, which is famous for its traditional craft of Tomochi pottery. It has become a new tourist attraction in the town.
The powerful design of the monument, which features a pattern inspired by a burning flame, attracts visitors to the area. It took about six months to complete the pottery, with the cooperation of 26 local potteries. The work is painted with traditional indigo gozu, but also challenges the expression of new Tobe Ware. At the bottom of the monument, handprints of the movie stars and the names of the potteries that cooperated in its creation are engraved, making it a valuable reminder of the history of the movie and Tobe Ware. If you visit, be sure to take a closer look at the size and beauty of the monument.
