Introduction of participating potters/

Tucked away in the rural woodlands of Reihoku Town, "Yugen Kiln". From the vessels made by the kiln owner, Seiko Tanaka, you can feel her unwavering Commitment to "beauty". When I asked him about the Minamoto, he showed me a number of shells arranged in an orderly manner.

When he was a child, he picked up cherry shells and red shells at the "Spirit Boat Procession" held at the Coast of Local during the Obon season, and he was Fascination by the mysterious shapes and colors created by the Nature, and he has continued to collect seashells. Mr. Tanaka's words, "The truly beautiful things in this world are like this, without calculation," made a great impression on me. It seems to me that the foundation of the "Mugen Kiln", which has its own unique view of the world, is alive there.

I would like you to pick up the ceramic works that Mr. Tanaka's Commitment inn everywhere and feel their charm.

Pesticide-free vegetables and potted flowers will also be sold during the period.

Introduction of participating potters/

"Workshop Kaze" continues to make pottery in an Kominka house that is more than 130 years old surrounded by nature. 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.

During the period, in addition to dragonfly bamboo crafts and woodwork, handmade sweets, bread and jam will be sold.

Introduction of participating potters/

Introducing the history of baking porcelain for about 100 years from around 1650, "Uchida Plateyama Ware", which has been inherited to the present.

The new work recommended for this "Autumn Kiln Tour" is a vessel made with the "Color Itchin" technique, in which the "Itchin" pattern is colored in blue with the image of the sea on the coast of the Amakusa Saikai. Itchin looks cute, but it is actually the crystallization of delicate technology and labor. The blue Itchin pattern that shines on the white background is a Gastronomical delicacies that you should definitely pick up and take a closer look.

In addition, you can't miss the "zodiac figurines", which is a Standard fun of Uchida Plate Yamayaki. Every year, sales begin with the "Kiln Tour" in autumn. Next year's zodiac sign is the Horse. Scenes of a painter who has been on this road for 20 years. The sight of unglazed horses being brought to life through the brush is a masterpiece.

The order of the zodiac figurines comes around every 12 years, but at Uchida Plateyamayaki, a new mold is prepared each time and the design is applied according to the era. The number of productions is a whopping 3,000. Through the "zodiac figurines", we want to convey the "white" unique to Amakusa Porcelain stone.
