Mashiko is a name of the city, which is located in the north of Tochigi prefecture.
Tochigi prefecture is the north of Tokyo. It is about 2 hours by train from Tokyo.
Kamamoto is "a pottery".
The misters of this Mashiko yaki use fur of dog to paint it.They glaze stone powder.
But, it looks hand made cup.
I wanted to experience pottery. But they said, I need a booking to experience that.
The stories of Shichi fuku jin came from China. It is said that they
give us many kinds of happiness. I sometimes see these figures
in daily life.
