MARUDAI-GAMA (マルダイ窯)
Historical | Edo House | Interior
MARU-DAI-GAMA House, is a pristine Edo period home where 15 generations have sustained the family craft of producing some of the finest Japanese pottery. The incredibly large timbers that make up the roof structure support a hand-thatched roof framed in Bamboo with a large attic area. The spacious clay-packed floor area of the main entry way has a large IRORI kettle mounted from the rafters, that provides heat and an open flame cooking area for intimate scenes, small tavern scenes or family scenes. With 5 main tanami rooms already appointed with period antiquities, the perfectly preserved and functional interiors of this beautiful Edo period home provide an authentic setting for scenes depicting life in old-world Japan. Adjacent parking access make this location perfect for small to medium size productions.
In the lush mountains of Toho-Mura, Koishiwara is a famous pottery village where time has stood still. Even after more than 300 years, 50 pottery makers still fire their kilns to produce the unique works of art that bear the name of the village, Koishiwara Yaki.
