This study clarified the changes of the space composition in the site of pottery in Shigaraki. I analyzed the spatial elements in each pottery of various conditions, and considered the conservation and the utilization of them. From the viewpoint of the space composition and the pottery management, I classified the potteries in three types. The first type is the pottery group which extended business and largely changed the space in the site for efficiency of the work. The second type is the pottery group utilizing old buildings remained in the site, but running relatively on a small scale. The third type is the pottery group producing artistic works and prepared the space for various visitors. It is demanded that the conservation and the utilization of the spatial resources are based on characteristics of the space composition and the pottery management.
