The event will feature full-sized Oshin-Raku of the Palicoes (Ninja equipment) from Monster Hunter Rise. The Ninjutsu Experience area will also be completely decorated with a Monster Hunter theme.

Shigaraki ware is a traditional stoneware pottery in the Shigaraki area, Japan. The Shigaraki kiln is one of the Six Ancient Kilns in Japan, and the technique and local pottery tradition share a long history.
