"Takahama Ware Juho Kiln" is a kiln that plays a part in the history of the Ueda family, which has served as a headman in this area for generations. Cultivation of grapes flourished in the Takahama area during the Meiji era, and it was widely known as "Takahama grape". It was once said to be a "town covered with grapes", but although it was once on the verge of extinction, it has been revived thanks to the efforts of the local promotion association, and now you can see the scenery of the vineyards here and there in the area. Speaking of "Takahama Yaki Juyoshi Kiln", the "Mirumon" patterned with seaweed is well known, but the history of Takahama is also alive in the painting of grapes. By the time of the autumn kiln tour, the grape harvest is already over, but it is also a pleasure to look at the grape designs on the vessels and think about the history of this land. During the period, from October 9 (Thu) ~ October 12 (Sun), in addition to a Workshop by illustrator Koda Yoko, food, drinks and miscellaneous goods will be sold at the "Ueda Family Residence" adjacent to the Juho Kiln.

In the exhibition room, there are vessels that reflect the individuality of each couple. Her husband, Kameyama Township, Training in Karatsu, which is famous for Karatsu ware, and his wife, Kameyama Sanae, studied ceramics at the Ceramics College in Arita. Thereare, even in the same Saga prefecture, the pottery of Karatsu and Arita is "earth or stone" or "pottery or porcelain", and there is a big difference in the ingredients and characteristics. Mr. Township's works are attractive for their captivating shapes and calm patterns of nature woven by earth and glaze. The lines drawn on the vessels, reminiscent of the classics peculiar to Karatsu ware, are infused with the "aesthetics of subtraction". Sanae, on the other hand, uses a blue pigment called gosu to create a modern and expressive painting by dyeing before glazing. There is a picture with a warm Traditional Japanese straw raincoat that makes your mouth smile involuntarily. Two vessels that use opposite ingredients and have their own styles. Ingredients are all available in Amakusa. The exhibition room is lined with vessels nurtured by Amakusa's Nature, and there is a strangely rich harmony.

Authentic pottery making activities began in 2006 (Heisei 18). In this interview, Mr. Hayashida, the owner of the Workshop, showed us one of the techniques called "string making" that does not use a potter's wheel. "String-making" is a method of stacking clay in the form of strings and shaping them. Mr. Hayashida skillfully strings the "black mud soil" and piles it up in a relaxed manner. The scene is as if time is streaming peacefully, and just looking at it soothes my heart. When firing vessels by carbonization firing, in order to take advantage of the Nature shades created by the way the flame hits, no glaze is applied to the outside to bring out the original Texture/character of the soil. The inside is covered with a "transparent glaze" to achieve ease of use that is close to daily life. It has a rustic and unpretentious appearance.
