Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Assembles parts or finished ceramics products, bonds them, inspects them, and ensures quality.
Description
Ceramics assemblers handle the task of combining handles and decorative parts onto ceramics products such as tableware and ornaments after forming. They accurately bond and weld the parts, inspect for cracks or chips, and then prepare for shipment after glazing and finishing processes. Much of the work is done on production lines, requiring high attention to detail, manual dexterity, and a strong sense of quality control.
Future Outlook
Although Japan's ceramics industry is shrinking domestically, demand for traditional crafts and high-value-added products remains strong, and the need for skilled workers is stable. While automation advances, the role of manual work in maintaining quality is expected to continue.
