kyushu pottery in gourmet magazine

With all the talk of Korean vs. Japanese pottery lately, I thought I might mention the August
issue of Gourmet magazine. There is a very nice article about the pottery of Kyushu (mainly
Karatsu) and it's relationship with food. I thought it was very nice to see this discussed
somewhere other than Ceramics Monthly.

My Aunt sent me this article recently. One of the restaurants, Hisago,
is one my wife and I frequent and bring our guests to when they visit.
One of the best places I've ever been foodwise, and the presentation is
just amazing with Maeda San's selection of dishes.
My pottery teacher is an old friend of Maeda San (they were high school
classmates) and has several designs which he makes just for Hisago and
no-one else. Actually, one of Tsuruta Sensei's slab plates is in the
first picture in the article(p.88), of the dessert cup and saucer
resting on the rectangular slab plate. It mimics the ocean and rocky
coastline of the picture on the facing page.
That dessert in the picture totallly rocks, by the way.
