Mari and Orcas Island Pottery

If you take a bath at Kamesei, you will likely see a beautifully sculpted turtle above the onsen water spout. If you've wondered where he came from, this is it: Orcas Island Pottery. (www.orcasislandpottery.com) Mari and I visited there today, during our vacation from our vacation to Orcas Island. The place is a magical combination of Pacific Northwest island setting and gorgeous pottery. Many of the pottery makers use Japanese-inspired "Raku" style.
亀清の大浴場に陶芸の代わった亀があります。シアトルとカナダの間にあるオルカスという島で作られました。この素敵な場所でこの素敵な焼物が作られている。尚且つ、日本なりの「ラク」焼が人気。
