I started my second trip to this art
festival with Ubusuna no Ie, an old thatched folk house
built in 1924 and remade into a pottery museum by a group of potters in 2006.
この芸術祭への二度目の旅は、うぶすなの家から始めました。1924年に建てられた萱葺きの古民家で、2006年に陶芸家たちによって焼き物美術館に再生されたところです。

I have fallen in love with the washroom and the "squashed" bowl. Although I feel I should learn more about Japanese pottery in order to appreciate it.
Sissi: You could fall in love with everything in the house, as well as the house itself.
I know little about Japanese pottery, either!
Thank you so much for sharing your pictures. This Art Exhibition taking place and involving old houses from Showa aera is really something special. As a huge fan of wood craft and pottery I would have loved to visit the exibition. Pottery is one of the reasons I would like to visit Japan. When I am retired (years to go) I would like to spent a few weeks in a pottery workshop in Japan - just a little dream...
Kiki: You have just a lot of hobbies! Make your dream come true!
(This particular house was built in the Taisho era, not Showa.)
Better many hobbies as none at all. I could easily spent all of my time with my hobbies. In fact I am going to visit a Raku-Workshop weekend in October (not in Japan but in our neighbor village's artisan pottery). 3 days pottering all day long. They do one big exibition every year and many practices and workshops. I think pottery and cooking goes very well together, think about bowls and plates (laugh).
Kiki:
>pottery and cooking goes very well together
Yes, I was going to say that! Especially so in Japanese cuisine, because Japanese cuisine calls for a variety of dishes, plates, bowls, and so on, and as you know, we don't put all foods on a single plate.
