Haruko Sugimura (Actress)

The reason why these two were selected this time was that both of them were photographed as witnesses of the times through cameras, and both of them were elderly and alive. It seems that they are active.

A teacup in winter

[Silver] January 23, 2019 09:00

 On the calendar, the season called "Daikan". On a walk in Tsukiji, we visited Tsukiji 4-chome, a shop specializing in Japanese and Western tableware near Kyobashi Post Office, "Selling Shop" in a yellow building.

Inside the store, there are Inoguchi in the shape of Mount Fuji, and famous dishes from all over Japan, such as Kutani porcelain and Arita porcelain.

Today, I found a warm-colored pottery that would be warm just by looking at it.

 Immediately, if you make hot water for shochu at home and hold it with your palm, you will feel warm and it is completely different from the usual cup with a handle.

The product name I purchased is "Red Yuzu Tenme Long Cup". I recognized winter tableware in winter. 

The address of the shop is 4-7-2 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, and the URL is http://urikiriya.co.jp.
