日田までドライブして、日田やきそばをいただき、骨董品コレクションが並ぶ、小鹿田古陶館へ。今ではトレードマークになった「飛び鉋」以外の模様のある小鹿田焼や、その他芸術的価値の高い美術品が並ぶ。バーナード・リーチ氏が小鹿田に来窯した際に作ったという水差しも! 課題図書で読んでいたので、「ああ、これが…!」となって、すごく面白かった。
We drove to Hita, had Hita-style fried noodles, and then went to the Onta Antique Pottery Museum, which houses a collection of antiques. The museum features Onta pottery with patterns other than the now trademarked "tobikanna" as well as other works of art of high historic and artistic value. There is also a jug made by Bernard Leach when he visited Onta! We had read about this in our "assigned reading", so it was very interesting to see the real thing depicted in the book.
