Mashiko Pottery Festival has Finished. (and news!)



The Mashiko Pottery Festival has finished.
It was a long 9 days, from April 29th to May 7th.

The weather was very good this year, without any storms.
And many people dropped in at Euan's store. People who we've known for a long time, people who we met for the first time.
Thank you all very much.










But we are very tired after the pottery festival.


So we are going to do some of the piles of the other things, take some time, then Euan is going to make pots again soon.

The pots with this year's chicken stamp are waiting for the firing.







And we have news!

The craft shop, "蔵ふと KURAFUTO" in Numata city, near our place, has started to display Euan's pots. You can buy his pots there too.
It is a limited small space, so if you are interested in Euan's works, you can come to our Pottery Studio Gallery here, and you can see more of his pots.

Happy Easter!







Happy Easter !


It is getting warmer here, Minalami at last.






We usually can see a Easter Bunny Man at our house in the Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, he has another business this year, so we've got the other Bunny in place of him.
She did good job for my children to hide eggs in our garden.






 My boys had a fun to find eggs.

It was quite hard to find the last one.
