The atelier of "Yakumo nuri" started in 1890 (1890) and emporium. Heiichi Sakata who was a personal painter of early years of Meiji era and Matsue feudal clan takes a domestic and abroad technique in, and invented original lacquer ware is "Yakumo nuri". It's the feature to apply, pile up and complete "Clear lacquer (It can become vacant and.)" on the china-painting, and lacquer increases the clarity by the passing years, and design appears vividly. The tea ceremony wares, the liquor container and the tray made at an atelier in the 2nd floor of store are also valuable as an artwork and are designated as "Shimane home Traditional Pottery items".
Wooden Maru Kagami where the one popular with young ladies is also light and compact at the inside "relationship mirror". An elegant design of the rabbit, the camellia and the comma-shaped bead drawn by hand carefully by natural lacquer is elegant, and the feeling of moisture peculiar to lacquer is matched with a hand. Because an addict and evil are reflected, a mirror is also learned about as a talisman and an item of warding off evil, and it's also recommended to put it on as a charm.

Sodeshi kiln (a sleeve, with the selling point of, druse) "pottery"

The modern container which fits a dining table for 365 days assembles.

Pottery of 1877 year (in 1877) foundation. Nearby, the capacity of the envoy is usually made by "Shimane prefectural museum of art" for local dish using kaoline and teacup at an atelier in 120 afterlives of chiku which leaves Shinji (It's believed.) for lakeside. The present kiln host who is an eye inherits 5 generations of traditional techniques as well as I say that improvement is being piled on the design and the size according to the present-day address and the living style.
The capacity of the Sodeshi kiln is moderate and showy though it's simple, and I agree with every kind of dish including the vertical-striped design using the light blue and the light ocher glaze (Yuu bakes it.) and latticework. Much, a fan establishes the status as the potter's one which represents Shimane from prefecture outside. The near small sake cup which can also be used as a small bowl and the small plate with the rich kind of designs also enrich the goods which can be bought easily. How about for a gift for your home and my friend?
