Hello everyone. It has been raining heavily in Bizen since this morning, and it seems the rainy season has finally begun.
With more rainy days ahead, it looks like we will be spending more time relaxing at home.

While opportunities to enjoy a drink at home may increase, please be careful to let your tokkuri (sake bottles) dry thoroughly during this season to prevent mold,
so please make sure they are completely dry before storing them. Please dry them more thoroughly than usual before putting them away.
Changing the subject, we have this adorable Bizen ware clock in the shop.
It is a piece that conveys the warmth of being handmade, and I find myself comforted every day by the cuteness of the owl parent and child.
Clocks that mark the passage of time usually evoke a mechanical image of absolute precision,
but by crafting one out of Bizen ware, there is a sense of curious ambiguity that provides a little peace of mind in our busy daily lives.
