このところの暑さでなかなかお散歩に行く気にもなれず。
やっと涼しくなったと思ったら雨ですね～。
These days,
it was so hot and humid around Tokyo that I didn't feel like walking
around.
Today,it's much better, but too bad, it's
raining.
そこで今日は家で食器の写真を撮ったりして過ごしました。
So, today, I had fun
taking pictures of my favorite potteries.
Let me introduce them.
日本には行く先々でいろいろな焼き物がありますね。
In Japan, we have many styles of
pottery, and they are often associated with the
area.
皆さんがお好きなのはどれでしょう？
Which style do you like?
これは石川県の九谷焼き。
カラフルな細かい絵が特徴ですね。
床の間に飾っています。
This is a
plate of Kutani-yaki, from Ishikawa Prefecture.
The fine painting with
five-color glazes, red, blue, yellow, purple and green is its characteristic
.
I have this on my Tokono-ma (alcove in a Japanese room) as a decoration.
これは岡山県、備前焼のぐい飲み。
これで飲むと日本酒がいけます！
This
is Bizen-yaki, from Okayama Prefecture.
It is an unglazed stoneware.
I
drink Sake with it. Umm, I love it!
こちらは山口県、萩焼のお湯のみです。
こまかいひびがあって、使い込んでいくうちに色が変わってくるんですよね。
This is
Hagi-yaki, from Yamaguchi Prefecure.
It is a glazed, high-fired
stoneware.
It has tiny cracks and changes its color with
time.
私の一番のお気に入りは砥部焼きです。
砥部焼きはあまり有名ではないかもしれませんが、230年の歴史のある愛媛県の焼き物です。
（実は私、愛媛出身なんです。）
温かみのあるぼってりした厚みのある食器です。
藍色の絵付けも素朴で好きです。
丈夫で食器洗い機もOKなので毎日使っています。
My
favorite is Tobe-yaki from Ehime prefecuture, which is where I'm from.
I'm
afraid Tobe-yaki is not so well-known, but it has a long history of 230 years.
It's a white, thick porcelain ware with handpainted indigo designs.
It's
sturdy, and dish-washer safe, so it's good for every day
use.
トンカツをのせたり、パスタをのせたり、なんでも合います。朝食にも使います。
It
goes well with anything; tonkatsu, pasta, even with
breakfast.
なかなか売っているところも少ないですが、私は実家に帰ったときに買って帰ったり、あるいはこのサイトで買ったこともあります。お奨めです。
砥部工房からくさ
There aren't so
many shops that sell Tobe-yaki in the Tokyo area.
I buy it when I go back to
Ehime. I have also bought it on the internet site above.
But sorry, it's
only in Japanese.
It has many good pictures though.
