Ημερομηνία προβολής: Νοέ 04, 2019

Our reporter shows us around the town of Hasami, Nagasaki Pref., with a 400-year history in pottery. She browses shops selling distinctive ceramics with modern designs made using traditional methods. She strolls around the old pottery district and an old climbing kiln. At her homestay for the night, she harvests vegetables for dinner and tries her hand at making a plate. And, we learn about Otsu-e, a satirical folk art dating back to the 17th century, at a museum and workshop in a city outside Kyoto Pref.
