"Mindfulness Tourism" was Held in in the Kikuchi Valleys in Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture. We delivered the "ultimate retreat" to maximize physical and mental performance in the Clear streams of Nature. A special experience that sharpens your senses while feeling the breath of Nature away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Mindfulness walking incorporating meditation and breathing exercises. I walked through the Kikuchi Valleys with the chief priest. At each Spot, they slept on the rocky ground or did Zen meditation and quietly faced Nature. In a calm atmosphere, everyone seemed to have refreshed their minds and bodies and found new awareness. Held in on the first day "Mindfulness Walking and Tea Ceremony" A tea ceremony was held in the Kikuchi Valleys by tea people. For the tea ceremony, Kikuchi Valleys's Water is used. In the quiet space of the morning, we calmed our minds and enjoyed delicious Tea quietly. On the second day, they experienced "Mindfulness Walking and Breakfast Meeting". Breakfast while feeling Nature in a dignified space in the morning. I enjoyed it calmly with a truly relaxed feeling. Water from the Kikuchi Valleys was used for cooking, and Meals using clay pot rice and Kikuchi Ingredients were served. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. By walking in touch with Nature in the morning, I was able to forget about my work worries and busyness. The taste of matcha soaked into my moderately tired body, and the sound of the Clear streams seemed to sharpen my sense of hearing and taste. Nature allowed me to meditate, and the murmur of the river and the cool air were pleasant. New Rice cooked in a clay pot and nameko soup warmed my body and soul. The food was very elaborate and really delicious and very satisfying. We received a lot of feedback. A luxurious time where you can feel Kikuchi's food, Nature, and time to face yourself with your five senses. It seems that you were able to feel that you can use the time only for yourself in Nature, where the time usually passes casually and the day ends.

"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.

Until now, it has been known as "Amakusa Karatsu Juro Kiln", but from this autumn, it has returned to its former name "Amakusa Karatsu Township Kame 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. During the period, in addition to dragonfly bamboo crafts and woodwork, handmade sweets, bread and jam will be sold. 📍 Workshop style 〒863-2503 Kumamoto Prefecture Amakusa District Reihoku Town Shiki 2915 TEL:0969-35-2041 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 【 The 36th Amakusa Saikai 🍁 Autumn Kiln Tour 】 【Period】October 9 (Thu) ~ October 13 (Mon/Holiday) 8:30 a.m. ~ 5 p.m. 【Venue】 〈Reihoku〉Uchida Plateyama ware, Workshop style, Yugen kiln, Unshu kiln (*Tenzhu kiln did not participate) 〈Amakusa City〉Takahama Yakijuyoshi Kiln, Amakusa Karatsu Township Mountain Turtle Kiln (Juro Kiln) 🍁 Two Stamp Rallies Held in at the Same Time! * Digital Stamp Rally📱 for Kumamoto Health Point Subject Business * Stamp rally to win the products of the desired kiln (application form is Located in at 📃 each kiln) 【Contact】Amakusa Porcelain stone R&D Promotion Council Secretariat (Reihoku Town hall Commerce, Industry and Tourism Division) TEL：0969-35-3332
