Photo’s from our Japan Trip
We wanted to share with everyone some photos from Japan. Most of these are from the factories that make the beautiful creations, and as you can see, alot of handwork and artistry goes into many of the tableware we bring from them to the USA!
- The start of a beautiful tea cup!
- Shaving the design into the tea cup
- Such detail and artistry
- Before they are put into the kiln
- Hand dipping the cups to make an extraordinary design and finish!
- Each cup is done by hand!
- The final result-can you beleive they were done by hand?!
- An artist paints Japanese kanji on sake bottles
- The next time you drink sake maybe she hand painted your bottle?!
- Even plates need special care as they are dipped in a glaze.
- She swirls the plate around to get an even finish.
- Creating a beautiful Suribachi
- Tea Pots before they are put into the kiln
- Everything in Japan is created with beauty and style so we hope you enjoy your tableware!
