Amakusa West Coast 🍁 Introducing participating kilns / 05 Amakusa Karatsu Gozakameyama Kiln The 36th Amakusa West Coast Autumn Kiln Tour will take place over five days from Thursday, October 9th to Monday, October 13th (holiday), using six kilns in Reihoku and Amakusa City as venues 😊 During the event you can see new works on display and buy items at discounted prices, so please take this chance to visit and enjoy Amakusa ceramics and the Amakusa West Coast scenery 🌊🌅♪ (Tenjiku Gama will not be participating 🙇‍♀️🙇) 🍁🍁🍁 Introducing the participating kilns / Odatoko lies south along the Amakusa West Coast at the point where the road bends toward the sea. Perched to overlook a calm shoreline popular with divers and kayakers, Amakusa Karatsu Gozakameyama Kiln stands here. Previously known and loved as Amakusa Karatsu Jurō Kiln, it has reverted this autumn to its former name, Amakusa Karatsu Gozakameyama Kiln. The exhibition room displays pottery reflecting the distinct personalities of the married couple. Mr. Kameyama Go trained in Karatsu, famed for Karatsu ware, while his wife, Sanae Kameyama, studied ceramics at the pottery college in Arita. Even within Saga Prefecture, Karatsu and Arita ceramics differ greatly in materials and characteristics — clay or stone, pottery or porcelain. Mr. Go’s pieces attract the eye with striking forms and tranquil, nature-like patterns woven from clay and glazes. The lines on his pottery, reminiscent of classical Karatsu motifs, embody a ‘‘beauty of subtraction.’’ Ms. Sanae uses a blue pigment called gosu to paint modern, expressive designs by underglaze before applying glaze. Her work carries a warm charm that brings a smile to the viewer’s face. Although they work with opposite materials, the couple’s distinct styles complement each other. These works arise precisely because Amakusa offers both types of materials. The exhibition room, filled with vessels nurtured by Amakusa’s nature, radiates an unexpectedly rich harmony. Please pick them up and savor their world. 📍Amakusa Karatsu Gozakameyama Kiln 426 Shimoda-minami, Amakusa-cho, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture 863-2802 TEL: 090-5081-1316 🗺️ The back of this year’s kiln tour flyer has been renewed!

[The power of books, the power of life] Shanti International Volunteer Association Cooperation Project "The Power of Books for the Power of Life" Through books, from familiar places Let's look at the world. Based on such a concept With the cooperation of two people from Myanmar living in Nishiokoppe Village, we Implementation the creation of a Picture Book to be delivered to Myanmar. What kind of country is Myanmar? What kind of situation are we in now? At first, I learned about Myanmar. After that, we read Picture books in Japanese and Burmese. After enjoying the difference in pronunciation between Burmese and Japanese Finally, I will make a Picture book in translation. While looking at the comparison table of the Burmese language Cut and paste the text stickers translated into Burmese on all pages, and repeat. Finally, I was taught how to write my name in Burmese. If there are two people who can speak Burmese You can ask questions when you don't know which page to put the sticker on, and you can learn things that you can't know just by reading the documents, such as the stroke order of the letters. Thanks to the two of you, I learned more Burmese. I feel like I was able to feel close to them. The translated picture book I made on this day will arrive in Myanmar around next summer. I wonder what Myanmar will be like at that time. I wondered what I was doing at that time With this in mind, I entrusted the Picture book to the Shanti International Volunteer Association. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Shanti International Volunteer Association #Translated Picture book #Myanmar #Turning the power of books into the power of life #Burmese
