* When in Japan...

A reader had the following to share:

This last July my wife and I went to Japan for our 
vacation. I wanted to meet in person Mr. Raku Kichizaemon 
XV. He was busy getting ready for his up coming show in the 
fall, so we toured the Raku museum instead. I was very 
impressed and it was interesting to note that on certain 
days (1st Saturday & Sunday in the month) you can actually 
touch the pots in their display cases that are national 
treasures. 

Another museum in Kyoto worth the visit is the Kawai 
Kanjiro's home where you will meet his eldest daughter who 
is the curator. 

I recommend that if anyone is going to visit Japan in the 
near future, please take time to visit these wonderful 
museums of original Raku pottery. You will get to see the 
newest modern creations of Raku ware.
