Their favorite masterpieces

I wrote that we visited Tokoname pottery path during GW.

(My past entry : http://a-o-j-m.blogspot.jp/2016/05/nostalgic-pottery-path.html )

My children tried ceramic painting there.

They finished biscuit firing and glazing and delivered to our house last evening.

Since they were looking forward to seeing their plates, they hurried me saying:

"Come on! Open up the box! Quick quick!"

"Wait a minute. Look! This is yours!"

I unwrapped my 7-year-old son's plate first.

"Wow! Cool! I did a good job!"

He was glad to see his plate.

"Here you are. Your plate is colorful!"

I told my 5-year-old daughter.

"It is nice, isn't it?"

She said proudly.

My son painted a dinosaur and my daughter painted a girl and flowers.

My children and I also tried ceramic painting last year of GW.

We are using the plates and cup still now.

Tokoname ware is one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan.

The pottery are really tough and practical.

Nostalgic Pottery Path

My children and I visited my parent's house 2 days ago and stayed there one night.

My mother and we went to Tokoname pottery path yesterday.

Tokoname-city, which is my hometown, is famous for its pottery and it is one of the "Six Ancient Kilns of Japan".

The pottery path is the promenade where there are many factories of potteries which had been used before, and we can walk through many narrow alleys like a maze, see many potteries, and enjoy local foods in many restaurants.

These Ojizo-sama (Jizo; stone statue which is the guardian deity of the local area or the guardian of children) are made of pottery.

They had calm looks.

 Pottery raccoon dogs and owls.

A lot of Manekineko (Lucky cat).

My children tried ceramic painting.

This is my 7-year-old son's work.

He drew a dinosaur on the plate.

This is my 5-year-old daughter's work.

She drew a girl and hearts.

They enjoyed painting very much.

The workshop staff will bake the plates and send them to us next month.


I found the old post which was used when I was a child.

Such kind of post is rarely used recently.

I reminded me of my old days.

This climbing kiln had been used until 1974 and was designated as an important national cultural property in 1982.

I was playing around there when I was a kid.

But there is an enclosure around there now, so we can't enter into the enclosure.


Since it was during Golden Week, we had early lunch before the restaurant would be crowded.

It was really nice even though it was not so expensive.


We enjoyed walking the pottery path.

It was the place where I ran around with friends when I was a child.

It made me feel nostalgic.

The only one original pottery in the world

I wrote that we visited my hometown in Golden Week.

(my past entry →　http://a-o-j-m.blogspot.jp/2015/05/my-sweet-hometown.html )

We experienced painting underglaze on potteries there.

I chose a mug and my children chose plates.


The mug and plates which finished biscuit firing and glazing were delivered to our house last Tuesday.

The left plate was painted by my 6-year-old son.

His theme was "The Forest at night".

The right one is my 4-year-old daughter's.

She drew "The Fireworks".

And I painted my children on the mug.

They were so glad to see their output and they use them at the mealtime.

My husband told his daughter, " Your plate seems that colors drip on it!"

She argued against him,  "It is a fireworks! How beautiful it is!"


I am drinking coffee using the mug while writing this article.

The mug and plates will become our good memory in the future.
