Japan Team Featured Item- Togei ceramics

This week's featured item is from Togei- Ceramics and vintage finds. As a collector of Japanese ceramics, I was interested in Dave's work as soon as I saw it. These cups would definitely fit in perfectly with my collection...just not enough space left in the cupboard:)

You can check out his other ceramics work and his vintage kimono collection in his Etsy Shop.


As always, the dynamic Japan Team blog can be found here.

Wildly outrageous dress ring

I don't know what has come over me? Is it the feeling that a new year brings? Is it the sunny (yet freezing) Tokyo weather? Or could it be the effects of drinking too much sake?!





I designed this fun ring after seeing a baseless sake cup; the idea being that the cup is always in your hand.... and you have to keep drinking! Much easier if the cup is attached to your finger (I thought), just remember not to gesticulate when you talk:-)

Not for the faint of heart, you need to be prepared for everyone you come across to comment on your choice of fingerwear.
