The name of the pottery class is Zuikougam(<strong>\u745e\u5149\u7aaf<\/strong>). I am glad that I take the pottery class and I\u2019ve learnt more about Japanese culture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Except for me, all other students are middle-aged or seniors. I do not know is it because the young Japanese are not into traditional art anymore or they do not have time for the 4-hour lesson. Anyways, all the students are very friendly and helpful. I feel very much welcomed by them. But regardless of their age and gender, they are really into ceramics and they take notes so carefully when there is a seminar. Japanese people really like to take notes and organize things neatly. They also like to bring some presents such as wagashi or sweets they bought to class and share with the other classmates. I like that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The communication part is not that easy as there are many verbs and terms that I\u2019ve never heard before, but thankfully, this is a skill that you can learn from imitating. I\u2019ve learnt how to use the \u201crokuro\u201d to make cups and bowls, how to paint on the plates and how to put glaze on the things I made. So far I\u2019ve been to 6 classes and I\u2019ve made 4 plates, 6 bowls and 2 cups, thanks to the sensei\u2019s help. I noticed the other students\u2019 work are related to Japanese traditional art as well and I can tell they are really passionate about it. For instance, someone made a whole set for\u96db\u796d\u308aand someone made several plates that have the painting of\u30a2\u30b8\u30b5\u30a4on them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I really like my pottery class and I hope if there is any chance, I could continues it in America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I go to Pottery Class near Kiyomizudera on every Saturday from 10am to 2pm.
