Namie Town is located in the Hamadori coastal region of Fukushima Prefecture. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, the entire town experienced evacuation, with some areas still designated as difficult-to-return zones. However, new reconstruction town development, such as industrial promotion through hydrogen and the establishment of international research bases, is steadily progressing. The 'Ohori Soma Ware,' with its deep history and distinctive horse motif, which has continued for 300 years, is designated as a national traditional craft.
