Story
Tara discovered these pieces on her final day in Mashiko, Japan. She wasn't supposed to be shopping, as she was due to drive back to Tokyo, but it will come as no surprise that she couldn't resist filling one last box before she left. Each piece was handmade by local craftspeople in Mashiko. The collection includes cherry blossom chopstick rests, ginger and wasabi graters, teacups, bowls and even ceramic ashtrays (a small tribute to Tara's late mum, who loved a ciggie).
