佐賀県有田赤絵町
赤絵の文様が印象的な作品には、「ごどうふ鉢」という名前がつけられています。これは、地元で有名な食べ物「ごどうふ」(豆乳を葛粉で固めて、ゴマ醤油やきなこをかけて食べるもの)を入れるための形とのこと。赤絵に使われているのは岡山のベンガラと聞いて、岡山出身者としては嬉しい限りです。胴が膨らんだ形と赤絵が華やかで、おめでたい日やお祝いへのプレゼントとしても喜ばれそうです。

The work is impressive due to red pattern. It is a bowl named "Godofu Bachi" for a local food in Arita, "Godofu". This food is made mainly from soy milk and powdered arrowroot. And it's delightful as a person from Okayama to hear that the raw material for the red pattern is made from colcothar in Okayama. As its curved body and red pattern make its atmosphere brilliant, it will be suitable for some happy days or a present for someone around.
