Slowly into spring with variations of “Blue & White”

We have passed the milestone of the beginning of the summer time.  Although the sky above us seems yet to be clinging to the grey curtains but we know it is not so long to see the longer days with warmer evenings.

 “A scent of spring”, our new online store collection is now open.   The themed online collection is focused on its warmer and sweeter season of the year.   Continuing still with our central motif of “mingei” there will be items with variations of “blue & white”, and beyond.  The picture on the left is one of the items, “yu-ri kou” plate by Masataka Nakata.  The lovely mauve red was due to the  result of turning colour of copper pigments during its reduction firing, which requires precision and without doubt, the years of training.  The plum blossom typically comes into bloom in the very beginning of spring, so rest reassured, the brighter season is a couple of corners away.
