For the story:(source: ANA-CoolJapan)
Okawachiyama (大川内山) is a small, isolated village in the mountains just outside central Imari. Alongside Arita (in the neighboring valley), it was the first place in Japan to produce porcelain after kaolin - the mineral essential to making porcelain - had been found in the area and craftsmen with the necessary skills had been brought from Korea into the country.

Porcelain was an extremely valuable resource for the local ruler because of its superior quality to contemporary pottery. For that reason, the ruling Nabeshima Clan directly controlled porcelain production at Okawachiyama and built the village well defended and isolated in order to keep the technology secret, earning Okawachiyama the moniker "Village of the Secret Kilns".
The pottery produced in Okawachiyama became known as Nabeshima-yaki and was among the most exclusive.
Enigmatic and mysterious, the ceramic village of Okawachiyama was designated a National Historic Site.
