Trip to Tokoname

Mar

On the weekend we went to the town of Tokoname, near Nagoya Chubu Airport. In the past this town was famous for producing ceramic goods such as pots, jars & pipes, and there were lots of kilns (ovens for ceramic baking) there.

Now there are only a few working kilns, but there are lots of other interesting old buildings to look at & there are various shops selling not only ceramic goods but also antiques, plants, glassware, & other things.

There`s also a small bakery where you can buy bread & then eat it at the tables outside, right beside a big old kiln. Nice.

Click on the above picture (twice) to see it better. If you like what you see, then I suggest you visit Tokoname!

The cat is cute, then what is a clinging thing around the cat's neck? The objects like owls are pretty good.
What Owen was looking at as having a Dango?

Oh - I didn`t notice that thing on the cat`s neck. I guess it`s a flea collar.

I think Owen was watching people walking past while he ate dango. They often said "Oh - Cute baby!" so he looked at them.
