Happy Birthday Watashi! 🎂 Such a beautiful place to celebrate in a creative and healthy way. I love the playlist you have used for this vlog. Your soba noodle meal reminded me of staying with our host in Fujino in 2015. There were 10 of us staying there and several friends and neighbours would visit during our stay. One of them was a beautiful lady, Ogata-san, who was 83 years old at the time. She grew her own vegetables, harvested bamboo shoots in the forest (scaring away the monkeys first!) and showed us how she made soba noodles by hand. It's not as easy as you might think, but they were all the more delicious knowing the skill needed to make them. I loved seeing you enjoying making your ceramic pieces. There's some hard work involved in preparing the clay! Almost a workout, better than going to a gym, haha! Thank you for sharing 🙏

Thank you so much! We’re so glad you like our playlist music…! Also thanks for sharing your lovely memory in Fujino! Firstly it must had been so fun to spend a time with group of your friends and neighbours! And making soba noodles! Yes I’ve done once when I was small but now I don’t remember anything…so your comment made me want to try it again!🫣 Preparation of clay is yeah definitely a work out! 😂

Happy belated birthday! What a wonderful trip and so creative and calm! Pottery is so much fun - there is something about getting your hands dirty and shaping the clay into what you have in mind. I hope the heat has died down a bit and it is more comfortable for you, despite the rainy season.

Thank you so much! Yes absolutely, there’s something about playing with clay, so fun! The heat has been a bit away in the morning and the evening here, we survived another summer yay🔥
Hey ❤️ it's me again, Dan from Jerusalem. I started taking pottery lessons this February. It became my favorite hobby. When I have guests for dinner, I always use the plates and bowls I made. It gives me another artistic way to express myself. I haven't been to Japan since 2019, because of covid. My best friend, ミカちゃん、is getting married next year's March. After watching this video, we decided to go to イチイチ, together, right before her wedding :) Thank you for introducing me to beautiful, unique places. I would've never known about this incredible place without your video. I hope you continue taking pottery lessons in Tokyo. The spinning wheel has a calming effect, almost like meditation... There are some great studios - ミカちゃん is also taking lessons there. 🙂 I send you lots of love from Israel, and waiting for you to visit us one day. 🧡🌸 ダン

It’s so exciting to hear you’ll visit Japan for Mike-Chan’s wedding, so special! (Congrats to Mike’s-Chan🎉) We’re also glad to hear you and Mika-Chan would visit this place next year! It’s such a beautiful place so you’ll definitely have amazing time there! We’d love to continue pottery making, if Mike-Chan have any recommendation for the class in Tokyo, we’d love to know as there’re too many options… Thanks for your sweet msg, we miss Israel!🌿

Reminds me. When I was in my early teens I quite often visited a culture centre for youth. There were different club activities as creative writing, painting, board games, theatre, pottery and other activities. I did several years of playing chess against old grandfathers and pottery (one afternoon a week) and had a really good time. I made so many planters, bowls and sculptures I guess the whole family was horrified whenever I brought my latest creations. Always the long waiting for drying and afterwards glazing, drying, kiln and the hope something magical wonderful would be the outcome and not some cracked wreck.
