We had a lovely weekend as usual, but this week has been a rough one for us–we are just swamped with work and a big translation project that we have to finish. (Plus all of the moving stuff that we have to think about.) Junji and I have divided up some of the moving tasks [...]

We all went with Junji today to open the kiln that he fired over the weekend. I wanted to support Junji, of course, but I also wanted first pick of the new pots. (Saya couldn’t wait to get her hands on the pots too!) Junji was really happy with the results of the firing. I [...]

I am so exhausted after this weekend, but we had some fun adventures. The rainy season is over, and it is really hot these days, so most of our outdoor activities involve water.
On Friday afternoon, Saya and I biked along the river. We met this cute little girl. She had two nets, so she let [...]

We bought a few new pots on our trip to Tobe last weekend. Tobe is a pottery village in Ehime prefecture–about a three-hour drive from Kochi. In Japan, each pottery village has it’s own style, and Tobe is known for porcelain tableware with cobalt slip decoration.
A small rice bowl for Saya.
A bigger rice bowl for [...]

Today we walked and walked and walked. We left the house at 1:30 and returned at 6:30. It was the perfect day for it–there was no sun to tire us out. We stopped at a park, ran into some people we know, took some photos, visited a friend in the hospital, and [...]

My camera has been at the shop for the past week, so I haven’t been taking many photos recently. But yesterday I finally got it back, with a new zoom lens! The first thing I had to do when I got my camera was take pictures of Junji’s pottery. It was frustrating [...]

Kyoto Souvenirs

For Saya…
…this cute coin purse from sou-sou, our favorite clothing/shoe store in Kyoto. They make awesome stuff–updates on traditional Japanese styles–that we covet but can’t usually afford.
And for me…
…a porcelain butter dish. I can’t tell you who made this, but Junji said it was a Dutch woman who works in Kyoto. He [...]
