[Okayama, Setouchi City] At the "Kanfu Ceramic Arts Center" in the nationally designated historic site "Kanfu Ancient Kiln Ruins," you can enjoy a pottery experience with a Bizen ware artist and the hospitality of the local dish "Sailor's Jabu Jabu."

At the Kanfu Pottery Hall, a guidance facility for the Kanfu Ancient Kiln Site, a nationally designated historic site where sueki, said to be the origin of Bizen ware, was fired, a Bizen artist will explain the history of Bizen ware, followed by a Bizen ware making experience. After the experience, you will have the opportunity to stroll through Shiomachi Karakoto Street, which retains the atmosphere from the Edo period to around 1955 and is home to many nationally registered cultural properties, eat the local dish "Suifu no Jabu Jabu" served on Bizen ware, and interact with local people.

A Bizen pottery artist will give a talk about the history, culture and origins of Bizen pottery. French and British interpreters based in Setouchi City will be on hand to help interpret.

You can experience making Bizen ware at the Kanpu Ceramic Arts Center, a guidance facility adjacent to the Kanpu Ancient Kiln Site, a nationally designated historic site. In addition to the experience, you can also view and purchase works by Bizen ware artists. (Finished products can be mailed to you by international mail at a later date.)

The local dish "Suifu no Jabu-jabu" will be served in Bizen ware. This is a rare experience that allows you to learn about the history of Bizen ware, make it, appreciate it, and eat it in Bizen ware, all at once.
