Touki-ichi


My family and I went to Kyushu and visited "Touki-ichi" .it is the market of pottery.My family like pottery.
We have a famous pottery at Arita in Kyushu,south of Japan,and they have a pottery festival "Touki-ichi" in Golden week( we have some national holidays in the week,and so we called the week,"golden week" in Japan.it is almost a week ,end of April -to the bigginig of May.Even Japanese can get holidays.)Anyway so many people visit there every year.We can buy pottery quite cheaper during the festival,and can see many kinds of plates.I like to see plates ,because the design,and almost ot the plates were hand made and handwriting.The skill is amazing!
