They put 'Bi-ze-n-ya-ki' tiles;(Pottery made in Bizen Province) on the roof of Lecture Hall.
The red and yellow leaves there were also wonderful!
Two tall very old 'Ka-i-no-ki' are especially famous for the beauty of the color of red and yellow in fall.

Bizenyaki is expensive but quite a lot of people have some Bizenyaki here in Okayama.
There are some in my house.
Some were given as a present and others I bought that are not so expensive.
I am using some for dishes and cups every day.
By the way you started writing in English again, didn't you?
I am glad to know that.
Thanks a lot!!
