Teaware 

Teapots of every shape, color and size are available in specialized shops all over Japan. There are so many different styles representing different parts of Japan, different kilns and clays, different styles and artistic interpretations. You’ll see them made with porcelain and clay, even cast iron. Some are traditional - others fanciful. The varieties are endless and the joy is in searching for, and finding, the one that makes you smile.

Proverbs/Quotes

"We’re fools whether we dance or not. So we might as well dance."
