Daisuke Michigami, a roofer who has inherited the family business (president of Daiei Ceramics), continues to take on the "indefatigable challenge" of unraveling the "wisdom," "skills," and "teachings" of his predecessors that are embedded in each and every "Awaji tile," a traditional industry that has a history of 400 years, and passing them on to the future. What is the reason for continuing to take on new challenges? We will get to the bottom of the secret. Daisuke Michigami, a roofer, will talk about the charm of "tiles" created by the soil of Awaji over time, the thoughts he puts into making each and every tile, the scenery created by the layers of "tiles," and his commitment to the "beauty" of Japanese architecture, all at "Gallery Doza," a space completely wrapped in soil and tiles. Awaji tiles were hit hard by the unfounded rumor that "the damage caused by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake was so great because the roofs were tiled." Even in an environment where the survival of Awaji tiles is still in doubt, Michigami has found great potential in "Ginfurubi" (tiles that are new yet somehow nostalgic, baked to a vintage, antique texture), and has been bringing out new charms of Awaji tiles that are different from anything that has come before. Now that his thoughts have taken shape, tiles are connecting people with each other, and Japan's good old traditional beauty is being reevaluated. Tile maker Michigami Daisuke's "insatiable challenge" will continue. After listening to his story, you can enjoy a space surrounded by earth and tiles that you would never believe is inside a tile factory, a view of the townscape that has flourished due to tile production since the Edo period, and Michigami's passion for "beauty" at "Gallery Doza," where you can feel Michigami's passion for "beauty." You can pretend to be a tile craftsman and try making your own "one-of-a-kind tile coaster," one of the new possibilities of tiles. You can choose from a variety of Japanese pattern designs that are prepared in advance, as well as original designs. Try making a rich work full of your sensibility. Experience schedule9:00~ (20 minutes) Message from tile maker Daisuke Michigami (President of Daiei Ceramics Co., Ltd.) - "Creating the future of tiles" - He will talk while showing slides at [Gallery Doza].9:20~11:20 Experience making your own original tile coaster that is one of a kind in the world *You can start at any time between 9:00 and 14:00.

You can enjoy porcelains only for experience, hobbies, and qualification acquisition. Porcelain is a craft that allows you to make your favorite pattern on white tableware using something like a sticker called transfer paper and bake it in an 800 degree kiln to make practical tableware. Since we use something like a sticker, anyone who can't draw or thinks they don't have a drawing heart can make beautiful works. There are so many types of transfer paper available that you can find what you like. Equipped with a parking lot, you can experience it with your children. (People who have not experienced it cannot be present, and it is not possible to have them enter the room just for a tour. Consultation is required for those with babies.) Since it is fired in an 800 degree kiln, it cannot be taken out on the day.

In this plan, you will experience the experience at NOIR CAFÉ, an atelier surrounded by plants by Miki Takeuchi, an instructor of Sanshin Oeda School of Kodo and a flower designer. Many people who ask about the art of incense talk about the ancient incense group called ``Genji incense''. Regardless of the school, ``Genjiko'' is a group of incense that is still practiced today. The designs of the answers (listening names) based on the 54 pages of The Tale of Genji are famous as ``Genji Konozu'', which are various traditional Japanese patterns such as maki-e and kimonos. In this experience, you can experience what Genji incense is like at the incense meeting, and how to listen to the scent and come up with an answer. It's hard to sit up straight, and incense parties are difficult to get into. However, this is a plan that allows those who are interested in what Genji incense is like to fully experience it. After enjoying the Genji incense, you can create your own scent just like the aristocrats of the Heian period, when The Tale of Genji was written. The Tale of Genji also depicts scent as a theme, and aristocrats used to infuse their kimonos with elaborate original scents. In this plan, you will create a scented bag by blending your own original natural fragrance. The finished scented bag can be set in a special paulownia wood box designed and arranged by top designer Miki Takeuchi with dried flowers related to the Tale of Genji, and you can take it home as a special incense burner. After the experience, we will offer scones made with the cafe's special incense ingredients and medicinal tea blended with edible flowers and herbal cordial. Please spend an elegant time in an extraordinary time warp for both mind and body.

With a history of 1400 years, tiles have protected Japanese houses, including shrines and temples. Among them, there are "Onishi" who have the skills of a master craftsman who draws a blueprint in his head while looking at the drawing with his own eyes without using blueprints or molds, and finishes it only with the sense of his fingertips and a handmade spatula. You can make a one-of-a-kind oni tile by learning from an "Onishi" how to make oni tile by hand using "name-do" soil that is more than 2 million years old. Awaji Island is one of the three major production areas of tiles in Japan, and is the number one producer of smoked tiles that shine with "silver". Tiles have a history of more than 1400 years, and tile making has been going on in Awaji Island for more than 400 years. Moreover, the soil used for Awaji tiles is still more than 2 million years old, and the very fine particles of "name-do" are used to create smoked tiles that shine with a beautiful silver color by baking (smoking) them in a kiln. In Japan, onigawara tiles have been used to decorate roofs as a talisman since ancient times. Even today, these onigawara tiles are carefully handcrafted by oni-shi (demon craftsmen) without the use of machines. Normally, you don't get to see onigawara tiles being made, but in this experience, you can watch the onigawara craftsmen's skills up close and make onigawara tiles together. Since this experience is limited to one group, you can make onigawara tiles without worrying about other people. If you have any questions or questions about how to make them, you can ask the onigawara maker at any time, and it is an experience where you can experience traditional techniques in a private atmosphere. [Procedure] 1. Draw a rough sketch of the image (you can also bring a draft with you) 2. Decide on the design of the onigawara tile 3. Together with the onigawara maker, use tile clay (nametsu) to create a rough shape 4. Let it cure (eat lunch (each person) during this time) 5. Finish the fine details using a spatula and your fingertips 6. Completed (you can also take a commemorative photo with the onigawara maker) *The work will then be carefully dried and fired and delivered in about two months. *For lunch, you can enjoy Awaji Island's specialty "Kawara-yaki" at the facility (additional charge required).
