Arita and nearby towns make the famous Imari porcelain, mostly blue and white. Jon and I were certainly the only tourists in town that cold day.
This is the town of Ushizu, where Jon lives. Jon is on the stairs approaching the Ushizu train station. Small mountains surround the town. Rice paddies are between the houses on the outskirts. Jon dressed as the Unabomer that day. We rode the train to Arita. We took the train wherever we went. The train system is amazingly efficient.
