Story
While Tara was in Mashiko, she stopped by a little shop she remembered visiting years ago. Much to her delight, the same lovely old lady was still there, surrounded by shelves of locally made ceramics. Together, they carefully selected a collection of pieces, all handcrafted by makers from the area. Then, in the thick summer heat, they stood side by side counting, wrapping and packing every single one. It was hot, slow work, but one of those very special moments that makes sourcing in Japan so memorable - returning to the same places, seeing familiar faces and bringing a little piece of Mashiko home with us.
