A very late post on the Bizen pottery festival. This festival is held on the Third Saturday & Sunday of October. It’s a short train ride from Okayama to Imbe Station in Bizen (580 yen on the Ako JR line).
Bizen is a small city just east of Okayama famous for the type of pottery seen above. During the festival, you can get great deals on many different ceramic items.
This style of pottery is not Bizen style but still very beautiful.
Pretty wildflowers for your new Bizen vase.
Hope everyone is having a good week!

Pretty pictures! Did you buy anything? Watching a tea ceremony recently gave me a new appreciation for how important pottery is in Japan.

I got a tiny vase that I put flowers in, a small white and teal dish I put jewelry in, and a big vase I gave my mom for Christmas :) I’m hoping to take at least one pottery class!
