Do you know the word "SETOMONO"sign02
This is dish which is made from Pottery.
It is generally called "SETOMONO" in Japan.
There is "Seto" city in center of Japan which is famous for pottery  YAKIMONONO MATITOSITE YUUMEI since 1300years ago.catface
Dishes that are made here were delivered through Japan. SHOKKIGA NIHONJUUNI HAKOBAREMASHITA.
That is why; we call "SETOMONO" for Pottery.
There are "Shino" and "Oribe" near "Seto" which are also famous for pottery through the world.
Great potteries are created here now too.shine


It takes about 1 hour by car KURUMADE 1JIKAN with highway from my house to Seto.
I went there for everyday dishes with my family.notes

We saw many chimneys for Pottery CHIISANAKAMAMOTONO ENTOTSUGA MIEMASHITA around there.up

Dishes which are made in Seto, are gathered at big place and sold there.
There is no expensive Pottery by famous artist, but there are a lot of everyday dishes SHINAKAZUGA HOUFU from factory.
Those are very cheep!! TAIHEN YASUI!!heart04

One dish is 150yen ~500yen. It was so cheep.

←These are the chopstick rests. OHASHIOKI.delicious
We also change it in season.
Because of prettiness like small display, some people collect them.
One chopstick rest is 100yen ~300yen.

 

 

I bought some dishes OSARAWO SUUSHURUI KAIMASHITA with white and dark blue picture, like first picture.wink
I thought they are simple and can be used for Japanese food and Western food.
The point was, it was thin and light so that I can put a lot in cupboard.
The shop that I bought them was so cheep because it has the factory downstairs.
One dessert dishes is about 150yen.
My family use dishes every meal MAINICHI  WAGAYANO SHOKUTAKUNI NARANDEIMASU since i bought.scissors

By the way, I found this box in front of the shop.→
This is the recycling box for broken dishes.
Instead of throwing them away, the shop collects them here and crushes them and make new one again.up






Suddenly, my daughter said, " I want to go to the bathroom."
So I took her to the other floor and found the room HEYAWO MITSUKEMASHITA which people can experience of painting on the dish.
"Do you want to try?"happy02
Then 4years daughter tried painting. It was the first time.
People usually try it by school trip in Japan.
When I was high school student, I tried and painted the flower of the plum on the Japanese tea cup.good

20090608-08.jpgShe was given the tool of painting.
At first, she drew the draft by pencil on white dish.art
She drew the princess and needed to paint with the brush after the draft,
But it is pretty difficult to draw with the brush for kids.
So she could not paint the princess like the draft.catface
Probably, kids should paint directly with the brush.

The good way of painting is showing the contrast of light and dark beautifully like above the bamboo picture.
It is like Ink and wash painting so that it is very difficult. MUZUKASHIIDESUNEwobbly

This paint is made from cobalt and iron.
Now it is gray, but it is going to be blue after burning it.sign01









After she finished painting, person from factory took her dish to the kiln.
He put the glaze on the dish and burned it with other dishes and finished!! KANSEI!!!shine
It takes 10days to get the dish. It was sent to my house.
(One dish is 1000yen without the postage.)
After all she painted the picture of her and her brother.smile
What would they say, if they see this 20years later living different lifesign02
