History

Banko Shrine in Yokkaichi watches over a town famous for ceramics. It has nurtured the skilled hands of artisans and the cultivation of their hearts. What I know is the preciousness within the process of creation. Protecting such work is this shrine's duty, and praying for the success of such makers is my eternal mission.
