I visited the Ohnuma Michiyuki pottery Exhibition, now open at shima-shima-ya Tokyo in Shimokitazawa. Mr.Ohnuma is a ceramic artist from Iwate Prefecture.
Cute dot-patterned or deep green bowls are characteristic of his works. This time a very beautiful jet-black bowl that glimmered with gold here and there in the light was displayed as well.
Each of them were splendid blows and looked user-friendly.

There was long mt tapes and a big tough machine.
The man working for mt cut these tapes for us.
Joy of mt still continued after we bought some. there were many kind of free tapes to decorate shopping bags!
Maybe you know mt tape is the famous brand of Japanese cute masking washi tapes.
mt expo was held in Shibuya.
The building, track, bicycle, MINI cooper and the ground… all over the place were decorated with mt tapes!
It was just like a place of girls’ dream, and of course we could buy tapes.
All of these were awesome so we couldn’t decide soon. We were there almost 3 hours!
“mamegui” is a coined word from “tenugui” (like traditional cotton towel) and “mame” (bean, sometimes it means tiny in Japanese). These are small hanky sized tenugui.

At the 21st Century Contemporary Art Museum shop in Kanazawa, products have gone on sale from the “Maiden’s Kanazawa Exhibit,” a collection of Kanazawa handicrafts and specialty goods.
Because this collection is limited to the summer, it will be open until Aug. 31.
The Fukumitsuya sake bottles are also very summery and cute.
They’re quite unusual.
