| KOJIMA Jeans |
the holy land of Japanese jeans |
33S001 |
 |
Kojima has long prospered as a textile town producing school uniforms, work clothes, and tabi socks, but it began to decline after the 1960s. So, taking advantage of the know-how it had built up in making work clothes, the first jeans made in Japan were born, sewn from denim fabric imported from U.S.A. Furthermore, denim fabric can now be produced domestically, and there are many attractions to see, such as the unique Jeans Street with over 40 stores lined up, and the Jeans Museum.

| BIZEN Ware |
the charm of Bizen ware lies in its dark brown surface |
33C002 |
 |
The dark brown surface that is the charm of Bizen ware is produced by firing
soil excavated from deep in the rice paddies with soil rich in iron, a
mixture of mountain soil and black soil. The composition of the soil varies
depending on the location where it is excavated, such as the ratio of the
soil mixture and the length of time each soil is left to sit for several
years. Therefore, skilled techniques are required to make it, and some
artists use soil that has been left to sit for more than 10 years. Today,
Bizen ware remains very popular. The many square brick chimneys that can
be seen in this area are from Bizen ware kilns.
