Nakai Kiln
Descended from Ushinoto, and shaped by the doctor's design instruction into forms that suit a modern table.

Tottori
Heian Buddhas of Tottori
Single-block Heian images survive in mountain temples here, a record of how the provinces carved.
TottoriArt & CraftsKotoura
Mt Senjo and its Rock Carvings
Columnar rock standing like a folding screen, with Buddhas cut into the face.

Collecting on the theme of water, and staying open until thirty minutes after sunset over the lake it faces.

Yakumo Lacquerware
Pictures painted in coloured lacquer and covered with clear coats; as the years pass the top clears and the picture brightens.
ShimaneArt & CraftsMatsue

Great water jars fired so hard they resist salt and acid, sold to kitchens and pickling sheds all over Japan.
