Glass Village

 We went to Glass Village which locates in the south of Okinawa Island. We had a experience there to make a Ryukyu glass Cup which is traditional drafts in Okinawa.
 At first, we have to choose a color of glass. I chose red and the other chose blue. The second, we blew through something like straw (iron stick) into glass melted by feat (approximately 1300 degree C). And glass was formed a shape in a mold (mold means "Igata" in Japanese).
 The third, we made the edges of cup. We moved my left hand on stick from our body side to other side and rotate glass attaching on the end of stick (It was very hard to explain, please see following picture). And right hand had something like big scissors and press it on inside part of glass. So, the edge of cup became wide and exact circle.
 We will get our cups made by ourselves about 5 days after because we should cool them for 3 days. And transportation costs about 2 days. I am looking forward to getting it.
