What do you imagine when you hear "Okinawa"?
Okinawa Prefecture is one of Japan's best tourism prefectures. In addition to the sea, there are many pleasures, including the World Heritage Site, Shuri Castle, a number of archeological sites related to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the time to flow calmly in the superb view of nature. And one of the other things to forgot is crafts. It is said that techniques were transmitted in the Satsuma Domain, China, Southeast Asia, and India during the Ryukyu Kingdom, and handicrafts such as Yachimun, Sanshin, dyed fabrics, and Ryukyu lacquer ware were created.
The work introduced this time is Yumiko Kaneshiro who makes Yachimun. Yachimun means a dialect in Okinawa in a dialect. At first, Kinjo continued to produce monotone vessels. However, the use of colorful colors for special classes for junior high school students has led to a fresh color that floats the scene of Okinawa. Therefore, the work born is "Corango Blue Vessel".
The color of the blue that is deprived of eyes is drawn in. That alone is beautiful enough, but the coral blue bowl has another hidden charm. It is a "glittering texture like a sandy beach". The growing glass -like crystals grow in the process of firing and cooling, creating a unique beauty. Just arranging dishes with dishes on the table or using a mug or mini cup during a short break will make you feel bright and feel like a resort feeling in Okinawa.
Why don't you realize the charm of coral blue?
