英語で有田を案内
もうすぐ有田陶器市が始まりますね。
というわけで少しばかりですが、英語で有田を案内します。
『有田の町並みと陶器市』
The main street in Arita extends from east to west at the center of Arita near the entrance of Tosan shrine or the Arita-ware pavilion. You can enjoy taking a walk along this street to see and shop for Arita ceramics at the many shops that line the street. The scenery of the street is so significant that it has been designated for preservation by Japan’s government. Many narrow back streets of this area have a scenic atmosphere. During the festival holding Arita-ware markets along Arita Street, about 1 million people (the population of Arita is less than ten thousand) flood into the street to take advantage of discounted product offerings made during Golden Week from the end of April to May 5th.
『陶山神社と有田焼の始まり』
秀吉の朝鮮出兵の際、鍋島藩が朝鮮半島から連れきた陶工のひとり、李参平が有田に良質の陶土があると知り、この地で陶磁器を作り始めたことが、有田焼きの始まりであり、日本の磁器生産の始まりでもあった。陶山神社は陶祖李参平を奉っている。
A Lord, Hideyoushi Toyotomi, who had succeeded in uniting Japan through many civil wars, sent his military force to Korea to invade the peninsula in 1592. A pivotal event in Japanese history occurred in 1597 called “Buroku, Keicho no Eki.” At this event, many Japanese clans joined the aggressive war against Korea and ended up abducting many Korean ceramic craftsmen. These clans intended to use these craftsmen to assist them in establishing their own ceramic industries. Then Nabeshima clan was able to force Li-Sanpei, a prominent master of ceramics, to join its clan. He found suitable clay for use in producing ceramics at “a mountain” in Arita. He created the first ceramics in Japan there. Since then, owing to Li and other Korean craftsmen, ceramic manufacturing has taken root in Arita.
