When I was a kid, my mother thought it was best to keep my brother and I occupied with a myriad of craft-making camps and workshops that filled our summer vacations. What probably started as a crafty<\/em> (cough, cough pun intended) idea to keep a couple of hyperactive kids from killing each other, it also laid the foundation for my great respect for the crafts and admiration for those who make their livelihoods from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During my visit to the Tamba ware (Tamba-yaki \u4e39\u6ce2\u713c)<\/strong> of Hyogo prefecture, I was reminded of this. The craft reflected its unique connection to Japanese history, its people, and the abundance of the land around them. The fact that it continues to thrive so prevalently is one of the reasons Japan is such a marvelous place to discover its rich crafting history<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
