Japan 2001
Mashiko

We walked about a half mile from the museum to the center of town. The town was a flurry of activity with people setting up their wares for a five day pottery festival beginning the next day


Across from the museum were rice fields.g

The rice had been harvested and the straw wes gathered neatly in these little tee pees

Someone founf a really large paper wasp's nest

In town the pottery stands are being set up for the festival.

Reminds me of Yoshiko's ourdoor art shows with all the canopies, etc.

The large building in the back was full of ceramic works. The big badger is also ceramic.

The nexk page, Pottery Wares , shows some of the more commercial ceramic items we saw -           pnext.gif
