いっきゅう　閑話休題

２年ほど前に書いた英文です。別に誰かに頼まれたわけじゃなかったのですが・・・
その他、地元のお祭り・名所旧跡・歴史などを英文でコツコツ書いていました。勉強のためとはいえ、我ながれらよくやっていました。せっかくなのでこのブログに小出しにしようかと・・・ｗｗ

大川内山の魅力を大きく３つのべています。
一、物産：やきもの
二、歴史と文化
三、自然と風景


Okawauchi-Yama is a site in Imari for porcelains called "Nabshima". At this site, more than 30 ceramics manufacturers display their works. Okawachiyama has three main charms I believe.

First off, you can enjoy seeing beautiful ceramics at the shops around Okawachiyama. You can comfortably and leisurely walk and enjoy seeing ceramics shops directly managed by potters who live around the small village.

Secondly, you can learn about the history and culture that surrounds the traditionally significant ceramics.
The site is in a natural setting and has a strong cultural atmosphere. Imari-yaki was only produced for Lord Nabeshima who dominated the area around present-day Saga prefecture during the Edo era( 17th-１9th century). There was a gate that prevented craftsmen from escaping this site to maintain the secrecy of these special ceramic techniques.

Lastly, you can appreciate the beautiful landscape that looks like some kind of black and white drawing; an exotic ragged mountain surrounds the small town including traditional Japanese houses. You can appreciate the rich nature that varies from season to season and the significant culture of the area while taking a walk around here.


陶器の風鈴
Wind chimes are called Fuurin in Japanese. These in below picture are made of ceramics. People enjoy those cool sounds in summer.

Thank you very much for reading this. :)
