After the tsunami, I watched quite a few programs about the Soma Nomaoi matsuri, and recently I went on a tour to Aizuwakamatsu in western Fukushima prefecture. I must keep my eye out for some interesting pottery. I'd like to get some more tea and sake cups.

Thanks for supporting the people of the Fukushima region. The recovery is long and slow.

Wonderful photo of some interesting pottery. As a potter myself, I've tried a few double walled cups. They always turn out to be a bit heavy. I'd like to see how these were made. Thanks for sharing.

I immediately saw a little gremlin in a mask, trying to look tough.... and a big guy checking to be sure he was doing it right. Great composition and very nice colors. Wonderful light.
