I was overjoyed to open my Get Obachan box and find 2 Bizen cups within it! It just so happens when I lived in Japan I lived near Bizen/Imbe in Okayama Prefecture which is famous for their pottery (a style that is over a 1000 years old and one of Japan’s oldest forms of pottery). I used to love to visit the town to collect the ceramics, meet the artists and see the galleries.
Everything in the Get Obachan box was expertly selected and was perfect for anyone who might be interested in Japan or Japanese culture. From the lucky charm, magnet, letter sets, and the dishes everything was lovely.
