Travels through Japan: Kyushu and the Inland Sea

[Guest post by Lynda Gray in Japan] Karatsu is on the northwestern tip of Kyushu, the most southerly of the large islands in Japan. It faces the Genkai Sea and South Korea and has a beautiful coastline dotted with islands. With over 70 pottery studios in the area, we spent some time tuning in to subtle differences in pot-shapes and glazes before choosing that one small but special piece to bring home.

Finding some ‘flow’ in the concertina should have been easy ; the sweep of Karatsu Bay was wonderful. Landscape seems to need a more painterly approach than an urban-scape though and I began to think a textured paper rather than my smooth watercolour surface might have been better here, but then I would have wanted my proper watercolour brushes as well, and maybe my easel, and actually maybe a whiter paper would have been better too - and so it goes on in my head!

In contrast the hotel window looked onto an urban landscape of rooftops and the wiring that weaves a distinctive web above and across all of Japan’s towns.  The wiring seems something of a gift - a way of stitching together a sketch.

We caught the bus to Yobuko, a small fishing town where we visited the Nakao Mansion Museum with its beautiful blue stamps, and learned about a whaling company that had made its fortune in the Edo era.

Leaving Kyushu we headed up the Inland Sea with a short visit to Hiroshima, a moving place with its tragic past. Then on to Miyajima and happy to be admiring the wonderful shrine gate of Itsukushima and getting a final blast of red into what had turned into a very blue concertina.

Lynda Gray is an artist from Kendal, Cumbria, UK. To get out of her comfort zone she likes to sketch with Manchester Urban Sketchers and to travel. You can see more of her work on her website and her first installment of her sketches in Japan in her previous guest post.
