HAPPY NEW YEARS


I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year for the year of the dog, 2018. 2017 has been a rather interesting year reminding me of the apocraphal addage; "may you live in interesting times". I hope that 2018 is a better and more productive year and that some of last years issues disappear with the old calander pages now checked off.
The picture is of an interesting reunion of sorts, the Kojima Kenji guinomi was bought by us back in 2006 and used on my blog previously. As a Christmas gift, I received this Iga tokkuri by Kojima as well, also made in 2006, both from the same exact time as shown on the biographies in each box and quite possibly the very same firing. A wonderful, bidoro pair and quite the pleasurable reunion.
