About
The Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park Artist-in-Residence program has offered ceramic and visual artists from around the world a free creative space in Japan since 1992. Located in Shigaraki, Shiga Prefecture — one of Japan's six ancient kiln sites and its most celebrated ceramics region — the program has hosted over 1,500 artists from 60 countries. Studio Artists stay from 2 months to 1 year, working independently without a structured curriculum. Facilities include two large studios (228 and 138 sq. m.), a kiln room with 16 kilns (gas, electric, and anagama wood-fired), a glazing room, plaster room, and exhibition hall. Accommodation includes 10 single rooms with shared kitchen, salon, and laundry. Guest Artists (Japan-based only) are invited directly by the park. The program also partners with institutions for country-specific residencies, including Finnish and Hong Kong schemes.
