Earthworks Gallery

別所温泉に泊まって、朝に温泉街を散策したらアースワークスギャラリーを見た。まだ早かったから開いていなかったけど、外から見させてもらった。古民家の様な建物に主に陶芸が展示してある。

古民家と陶芸。素敵な組み合わせ。私は両方が大好き。

我が戸倉上山田温泉に佐良志奈焼きの「たからや」という陶芸専門店がある。温泉街をぶらぶらしながら、こういう店があって嬉しいね。

While staying in Bessho Onsen, I took a walk around to see some of the temples and shopping streets. As I wandered around, I came across the Earthworks Gallery in a traditional wooden building. It was still early so the gallery wasn't open, but I could see many ceramic works in the window.

2 things I personally really love. What a great use of space. Shops like this really add to these hotspring resort towns. Here in Togura-Kamiyamada Onsen, we have a shop called "Takaraya" that sells our local style of pottery called Sarashina-yaki.
