Onta ware (Onta-yaki) is traditional Japanese slipware pottery made continuously in the mountain village of Onta (Sarayama) in Hita City, Oita Prefecture, since the early 18th century. It was designated an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan in 1995. All clay is processed by hand and pieces are not signed by individual ceramists but rather they represent the characteristics of the kiln. Pieces are decorated with freehand techniques including tobikana, hakeme, kushigaki, and nagashi-kake.
