![笠間的土厚，鶯歌的釉薄：兩雙手在轆轤前不說話]
轆轤轉起來的時候，兩雙手會先各自沉默一段時間。日本笠間與益子的職人，手底下的土通常帶著顆粒、留著指痕，燒出來的器皿厚重、帶點粗野的呼吸感。鶯歌窯場的手，習慣把土壓得更薄、修得更平整，講究線條收得乾淨。同樣捏一個碗，兩種身體記憶會給出完全不同的答案——不是誰對誰錯，是兩座陶鎮各自走了幾百年才長出來的手感。

2026年「鶯歌產地開放日 Yingge Open House」訂在10月7日至11日，鶯歌陶瓷老街、鶯歌國小古窯周邊、在地窯場與捷運三鶯線沿線都會被捲進來。這個活動從2022年開始辦，一路把傳統代工聚落的後台，翻成觀光客可以走進去看的前台。今年最特別的段落排在10月9日至11日：日本關東的兩座陶藝重鎮——笠間（茨城）與益子（栃木）——將派職人到鶯歌國小古窯旁的「鶯歌陶藝市集 CRAFT MARKET」，與台灣陶藝師並肩拉坯。這是這個活動首度安排台日職人現場對拉，過程中還會做一款融入鶯歌陶神香灰釉的「鶯式祈福」陶卡。

##### 厚重與精緻，同一種土做出兩種脸

笠間、益子的[陶器](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%99%B6%E5%99%A8)傳統偏向民藝路線，強調手工痕跡不被磨平，釉色濁厚、器形帶著使用感。鶯歌從清代開始燒陶，走的是精工代工路線，早年供應日用瓷、衛浴瓷，手上的功夫練的是準與穩。放在同一張工作台上，這兩種美學不需要翻譯——轆轤轉速、手掌施壓的角度、修坯刀劃過表面留下的痕跡，本身就是語言。這種現場對比，比工藝史介紹更直觀：厚與薄、粗與細、隨性與工整，一眼看穿。

現場交流之外，這次活動也把陶器拉進了餐桌。9家鶯歌美食與9家窯場聯名合作，把大同電鍋、香菜、自製辣椒醬這些日常吃食符號，變成「童滿味碗」、「花辣辣」小碟等量產器皿，串出3條特色餐桌路線——工藝品不再只是展櫃裡的物件，而是真的會被端上桌、被用來吃飯的東西。7家窯場也走進鶯歌7所國小，帶學童設計圖樣、轉成商品，10月9日還讓學童自己上場定價、陳列、銷售，等於讓下一代提早摸到窯場的商業邏輯，不只是摸土。

##### 交通變成入場券

捷運三鶯線推出60元限定一日票，10月1日至31日在多個站點販售，附散策指南與沿線店家優惠，把交通本身變成活動的一部分。這不是新招——鶯歌一直在借鏡日本益子町「益子陶器市」與笠間市「笠間の陶炎祭」那種把整座城鎮變成展場的模式，這次多了一層：交通票券直接把觀光門檻壓低到一個銅板的價格，看展這件事，和搭捷運一樣日常。

同類的台日產地交流不是第一次出現。日本燕三条的貿易團體今年3月就曾帶18個品牌到松菸辦展，串連多地域工藝與台灣策展方合作；這類「產地品牌＋跨國策展＋固定檔期」的組合，正在變成一種可複製的年度模式，鶯歌這次算是把同一套邏輯，搬到自己的窯場裡實地操練一次。

##### 10月9日，誰先開口

兩雙手坐在同一張轆轤前，誰先開口說話，答案通常是沒有人開口。手感先動，話才慢慢跟上。10月9日到11日，鶯歌國小古窯旁，會有這樣的場景：笠間或益子的職人壓下一塊土，鶯歌的陶藝師在隔壁修一個薄胎碗，中間隔著一張桌子，和幾百年不同的手感。

### Thick Clay, Thin Glaze: Two Hands at the Wheel, No Words Needed

Hands go quiet first when the wheel starts spinning. Potters from Kasama and Mashiko in Japan tend to leave clay coarse, fingerprints visible, glaze thick and a little wild. Potters in Yingge press their clay thinner, trim it flatter, chase a clean line. Same bowl, same wheel, two completely different muscle memories — neither is more correct, they just come from towns that have been doing this for centuries in different directions.

The 2026 Yingge Open House runs October 7 through 11, pulling in Yingge’s old ceramics street, the area around Yingge Elementary School’s old kiln, local kiln studios and the stretch along the Sanying MRT Line. Running since 2022, the event has been turning a traditional manufacturing town’s back rooms into a front-facing tourist experience. This year’s centerpiece falls on October 9 through 11: potters from Kasama (Ibaraki) and Mashiko (Tochigi) — two major ceramics towns in Japan’s Kanto region — will throw clay side by side with Yingge’s own artisans at the Yingge Craft Market, set up next to the old kiln by Yingge Elementary School. It’s the first time this event has staged a live wheel-throwing exchange between Taiwanese and Japanese craftspeople, and the pairing will also produce a commemorative clay card glazed with incense ash from Yingge’s own kiln shrine.

##### Two Faces, One Clay

Kasama and Mashiko [pottery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery) traditions lean folk-craft: rough surfaces left alone, thick murky glazes, forms that look used even when new. Yingge’s tradition since the Qing dynasty ran through precision manufacturing — daily tableware and bathroom ceramics that rewarded consistency over character. Put both on the same worktable and no translator is needed. Wheel speed, the angle a palm presses at, the line a trimming knife leaves behind — that’s the vocabulary already. Thick against thin, loose against exact. It reads instantly.

Beyond the wheel, this year’s event pushes ceramics onto the dinner table. Nine Yingge food vendors have paired up with nine kiln studios, turning everyday food culture — a rice cooker, cilantro, homemade chili sauce — into mass-produced tableware, mapped across three themed food routes. Seven kiln studios have also gone into seven Yingge elementary schools, guiding students to design patterns that get turned into real ceramic products. On October 9, those students will handle their own pricing, display and sales — a hands-on lesson in the business side of a kiln, not just the clay side.

##### A Ticket Becomes Part of the Show

The Sanying MRT Line is issuing a limited one-day pass priced at NT$60, on sale October 1 through 31 at multiple stations, bundled with a walking guide and local shop discounts. It’s not a new trick — Yingge has long borrowed from Japan’s own open-kiln festivals in Mashiko and Kasama, models that turn an entire town into an exhibition space. This year adds a twist: transit becomes part of the ticketing, dropping the barrier to entry to the price of a cheap lunch.

This kind of cross-border craft exchange isn’t isolated. A Japanese trade group from Sanjo-Tsubame brought eighteen brands to Taipei’s Songshan Cultural Park back in March, working with local curators across several craft regions. That format — a production town’s brand, a cross-border curator, a fixed annual slot — is becoming a repeatable template. Yingge is now running the same playbook inside its own kilns.

##### October 9, Whoever Speaks First

When two sets of hands sit at the same wheel, usually neither speaks first. The hands move, the words catch up later, if at all. From October 9 to 11, next to the old kiln by Yingge Elementary School, one potter from Kasama or Mashiko will press down on a lump of clay while, at the next wheel, a Yingge potter trims a thin-walled bowl. One table between them. A few hundred years of difference in how a hand learned to hold clay.
