Today I left our house early morning to go to Kanazawa City to take my Kutani painting class. When I arrived at Fukui station, I realized that there were so many people. My current region where I live is famous with a lot of rain, and since yesterday we have had a lot of rain. All trains bound for Osaka has been stopping and many people have stuck in the station.
Since I would go to the opposite way, I got in the train bound for Kanazawa City. The train was also full of children with their parents. I realized that it was a summer break and many people enjoyed their family trips.
When I arrived at the Komatsu station, my Kutani teacher was waiting for me as usual. I was looking forward to going to his house today because I have ordered some Japanese white porcelain for Kutani painting. After I move to Osaka, I'm planning on learning a part of Japanese culture called "Kodo （香道）". I've ordered him some white porcelain for the kodo. We call the contents kouro （香炉）.
He showed me some of them and I bought four different designs from him. He also gave me very interesting Japanese white pottery. It was a Japanese pipe called "kiseru (煙管）". When I was a kid, I saw some of them at my grandparents' house in my dad's side. For a long time I haven't seen them, and I completely forgot about it because it's a kind of our dead culture. It's recently very rare for us to see the Japanese pipes, and I don't think my daughter knows about it. It suddenly reminded me of my grandparents. He showed me his hand painted kiseru. It was very beautiful and I loved his idea. I've never seen Kutani kiseru before.
When I showed the kiseru white porcelain to my husband, he also said it was very rare and felt nostalgic. I'm so excited to paint both on kouro and kiresu. After I paint on them, I'd love to show my work on my blog!

Today I left the house early in the morning to go to Kanazawa City to take my Kutani painting class.
When I arrived at Fukui station, I saw that there were so many people there.
The region in which I currently live is famous for a lot of rain, and since yesterday it has lived up to its reputation.
All trains bound for Osaka have been stopped and many people have been stuck in the station.
Since I was going the opposite way, I got on the train bound for Kanazawa City.
The train was filled with children and their parents.
I realized that it was summer break and many people were traveling on their family trips.
I was looking forward to going to his house today because I had ordered some Japanese white porcelain for Kutani painting.
After I move to Osaka, I'm planning on learning "Kodo （香道）" which is a part of Japanese culture.
I've ordered some white porcelain for the kodo from my painting teacher.
We call the container kouro （香炉）.
He showed me some of the kouro that he had and I bought four different designs.
He also gave me a very interesting piece of Japanese white pottery.
When I was a child, I saw some kiseru at my grandparents' house on my dad's side.
I haven't seen them for a long time, and I had completely forgotten about them because it's a part of our dying culture.
Recently it's been very unusual for us to see the Japanese pipes, and I don't think my daughter even knows about it.
He showed me his very beautiful hand painted kiseru and I admired it so much.
It was very beautiful and I loved his idea.
I had never seen Kutani kiseru before.
When I showed the kiseru white porcelain to my husband, he also thought it was very rare and felt nostalgic.
I'm so excited to paint both on kouro and kiseru and afterwards I will show my work on my blog.
After I paint on them, I'd love to show my work on my blog!
