Fence with unusual material;

 (posted; Japanese culture page)
*Can you guess for what these bottles (earthen ware) were used*

These were used as sulfuric acid bottle (container).
And the fence itself is called Bottle fence "瓶垣, bin-gaki" in Japanese.
It was funny that until recently I never knew next city where is my husband's birth city used to have thriving ceramic engineering  (pottery industry).  "sulfuric acid, to refine gold and silver" for coins.

This Miyoshi residentce is designated as Heritage of Industrial Modernization.
The board explains this fence 'made from almost 100 years old bottle with this pottery' represent its history of the industry in this city. And the pictures below shows the very old kiln no longer used.  


The entrance and fence of the residence after go up along the bottle fence.


      The monument of the bottle located where we cross this bridge. 
           And some are ornaments along side the road.

  4. Really fascinating about the sulfuric acid jars. They make a different kind of fence! Are the holes plugged or do wasps and little birds find refuge inside them? I always love pottery factories. Such an interesting post!

  6. Very unusual fence, Miyako..Maybe they were used for saki or whiskey? Intereting, but I do think they need to put a cork in the holes.

  12. To Dear Marie; Oh what a good point! I haven’t thought about these possible troubles. I called city’s local tourism association. They said the bottles are not plugged but no trouble with these insects. Her voice sounds certain (I guessed they had no report about it)) and added that the bottles have high intensity (strength).
    Thank you SO much for your sweet comment♪
    Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
