The 26th Tanabe art museum grand-prix "modeling exhibition of the tea ceremony" was held from April 25 to June 7 in the Tanabe art museum in Matsue.

The whereabouts of the Tanabe art museum is carried out to the side of the Matsue castle of Matsue-shi, Shimane.

 "The modeling exhibition of the tea ceremony" was called gateway to a ceramist, and there was an application of 460 works this time from 293 persons of Chugoku district each prefecture, Shikoku district each prefecture, and Hyogo Prefecture.

I looked at winning work article 72 works this time.
60 percent of works were Bizen ware.

To an every year "modeling exhibition of the tea ceremony", I think it conspicuous that many Bizen-Yaki are sent.

Mr. ICHINO-MASAHIKO's "KAZE (wind)" won the Tanabe art museum grand-prix.

But I liked Mr. TSUKIOKA-SABURO's NERIAGE cold water container.
Though regrettable, I cannot publish the pictures of exhibition works.
I took general view of the Tanabe art museum, and the pictures of the yard.

I ate duck nanban buckwheat noodles by SOBA-DOKORO YAKUMO-AN(出雲蕎麦処八雲庵), after looking at the work exhibition.

Izumo SOBA 蕎麦 (buckwheat-noodles) place YAKUMO-AN of Shimane is a buckwheat noodle shop very near the Tanabe art museum.

Izumo buckwheat-noodles place YAKUMO-AN is inside of a shop with the effect which remodeled the remains of a samurai residence, and it gets the duck nanban the hand-made buckwheat noodles (Izumo buckwheat noodles) of the home and the broth of the duck are effective skilled, feeling the four seasons.
