One of the specialty festivals in Chuo-ku as a feature of downtown is Ningyocho's Setomono Market. Since the opening of Edo, more than 90% of the ceramics used by homes were unloaded around Ningyocho, where daily necessities have been actively transported by boat from all over Japan, and more than 60 shops were lined up. "Setonoichi", which conveys the bustle of the past, will be held on Ningyocho Street for three days in the first week of August.
The second day I visited, it was as hot as this year. The perceived temperature on concrete is 40 degrees or more. Thank you very much for your hard work.

Not only ceramics but also glass and wood tableware are displayed, so you will not get tired of it.
The painting experience (1000 yen) and the potter's wheel experience corner (2000 yen) are also popular.

A little bit of silver and a little bit of sake. And I bought an astringent bowl.
On the way home, I remembered the advice that "In the city of Seto, it is natural to deserve." I'll give you a good price next year.
