    To this bountiful village, yokai seeking freedom came to obtain the magnetic rock needed to launch themselves into space ！
    However, only the “Earth People” living in this village were allowed to touch this magnetic rock.
    So the yokai concealed their true identities and devised a plan to exploit the villagers.
    Meanwhile, the villagers—plagued by water shortages and crop failures—witnessed the mysterious powers possessed by the yokai,
    and, seeing their lavish appearance and demeanor, rejoiced, declaring, “The gods of Basara have arrived.”
    Seizing this golden opportunity, the demons managed to strike a deal: in exchange for granting the villagers’ wishes, they would receive the magnetic rock.
    But ！ what awaited the yokai was betrayal that shattered their plan and the wavering hearts of the villagers.
    With developments beyond imagination, the fate of the monsters ！ ？ and the villagers’ salvation … ！ ？ ！

    The 60th "Tokoname Ware Festival" will be held on October 3 ・ and 4 ！

    The “60th Tokoname Ware Festival,” Tokoname City’s premier pottery festival, will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2026 （ and Sunday, October 4, 2026 ・ （ ）. This year marks the 60th anniversary since 1967, when the first on-site sales event—where the general public could purchase pottery—began. Spanning three venues—Tokoname Boat Race Course, the Pottery Walking Trail, and Ceramall—these two days will bring together kilns ・, wholesalers ・, ceramic artists ・, and specialty shops with visitors, allowing the entire city to enjoy the charm of Tokoname ware.

    ■ Three venues, each offering a different way to enjoy “Tokoname-yaki”

You can purchase a wide variety of Tokoname-yaki items from kilns and artists, including rice bowls, plates, cups, teapots, vases, and maneki-neko figurines. At the “See, Use, Enjoy” event, you can experience the charm of these pieces from the perspectives of cuisine and tea. Additionally, at Tokotan Hall, various events will be held, including stage performances by the Chita Musume and the Sax Samurai, as well as a quiz contest where Tokoname-yaki prizes will be awarded.

    [B: Pottery Walking Trail Venue] Amid scenery unique to the region—such as brick chimneys, kilns, and the Clay Pipe Slope—you can explore workshops ・, galleries ・, and shops. We’ll be offering 60th-anniversary commemorative goods （ to the first 10 customers at each participating store ） who spend 3,000 yen or more, as well as holding a giveaway raffle for participants who post on Instagram.

    【C Ceramall Venue】 A venue where Tokoname-yaki specialty shops gather. In addition to being able to take your time selecting teapots, tea sets, tableware, vases, and planters, we have planned events such as an “Outdoor Tea Ceremony” and “Let’s Play with Clay.”
