Setomono Matsuri

Today I went to the long anticipated, at least by me, Setomono Matsuri. Seto is a town about 60 min from where I live, that is famous for its pottery, it has a clay mine to back up the industry.When I came to Japan on my homefinding trip I was introduced to Seto and decided that rather than ship or rent dishes, I would purchase them in Seto as a suvinear for myslef.
I was very impressed by the festival, it exceeded my exceptions. The selection was unbelievable and the pieces were great. I was struck by the thought that I wont be able to go back next year.

Happy Birthday Mike!
