About this event
The festival official site covers the Kasama no Himatsuri, held every year from 29 April to 5 May at Kasama Geijutsu no Mori Park. More than 200 exhibitors take part. Kasama ware has no single prescribed shape or style, so the fair is known for the individuality of its potters, alongside food stalls and events in the park.
