Japanese pottery exhibition comes to Thua Thien – Hue

The event is jointly organised by the Japan Foundation Centre for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam, the Hue Fine Arts Museum, and the Thua Thien-Hue province’s Vietnam – Japan Friendship Association.

Doi Katsuma, director of the centre, said that it is hoped that through experiencing Yakishime ceramic products, the Vietnamese public will know more about the diversity and creativity of the Japanese culture.

The exhibition, which runs until May 14, introduces the ceramics technique yakishime which fires unglazed wares at high temperatures. One of the most basic means of producing ceramics, Yakishime has been developed in numerous distinctive directions in Japan.

The display aims to introduce local people to the Japanese culture by examining Yakishime from the earliest examples to contemporary works.

Phan Thanh Hai, Director of Thua Thien- Hue Department of Culture and Sports, said that the exhibition takes place under the umbrella of the Thue Thien- Hue’s 9th traditional craft festival towards the 50th anniversary of diplomatic establishment relations between Vietnam and Japan.

Yakishime dates back to the fourth or fifth century. However, it was not until the 12th century through to the 17th century that the technique became firmly established and was used in a significant portion of the production of major ceramic centres in Japan, including Bizen, Shigaraki, and Tokoname.

Vietnamese man with facial disfigurement keeps on smiling, feeding birds

Hình ảnh
The 44-year-old, who lives with his elderly father and stepmother in an alley in Vinh Long City, the province’s capital, has a speech impairment in addition to his facial disfigurement and many health issues, which has led people to give him the nickname ‘Ba Lep.’ Because of his facial deformity and speech impairment, Hien often finds that many people do not want to talk to him, especially young children who are put off by his appearance. “Only birds feel comfortable in my presence,” Hien said with some effort. According to the owner of a food stall nearby, rain or shine, the man feeds sparrows with uncooked rice while sitting outside. He also ventured out with a mask on during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreaks that began in late February to make sure the flocks had a full stomach as shops and restaurants shut down, and no public gatherings meant no leftovers for them to scavenge on.  For such a gentle, loving man, life is a constant fight against what he sees...
