Chikuzen Tsuyazaki Clay Doll

Had only one purpose for going on cycling.

Along the beach, there extends the cycling road.

The wind was strong, and the sea was choppy

Couldn't hear the cracking sound from the black round stone group, because of the sound of the waves.

After one and half hour's ride, arrived at Tsuyazaki Namiori-shrine 

In the Edo period, Tsuyazaki prospered with its salt deals. 

Even now there still remain the old days' buildings along the main street.

After passing through the streets of Tsuyazaki, there is an old Japanese sweets shop

My favorite is the Yokan (sweet bean paste shaped in oblong)!

Whoa!  

The shop is closed!

Just pursued only the "delicious Yokan" while being driven by the strong wind...

My stomach was ready for it - not easy to turn away

What should I do?

Several meters further on, there was the Chikuzen Tsuyazaki clay doll shop.

Looking through the glass window, what a nice clay doll with an indescribable noble taste

These are so cute

Across the street, there is also another old doll shop

Felt the naivety from these clay works

The look is so good

It's a clay bird-shaped flute.

How it sounds like?

there are more

I was surprised to find that even such an old bastard like me was healed by these local dolls and toys.
