Don't whine Janet. ;^) Just give us your galleries in your neck of the
world. (It is my experience [online since 1985], that if you don't like a topic,
the best remedy is to start a new one.)
My favorite in Mashiko is the one I am currently showing at (of course),
Tsukamoto. http://www.livejournal.com/users/togeika/2003/06/03/ It is related
to one of the oldest pottery factories in Mashiko. Actually, they have
several galleries in Town. We are at the best one.
The gallery ladies gave us two traditional Mashiko covered pots with
a traditional meal inside (rice with mixed meat, eggs and veggies on top)
yesterday. (we gave them strawberries and we got these meals in return) Was
pretty tasty. Traditionally, you put these pots and their covers on the
woodfire to heat. I put them in a pan of water on the stove. Still have the
pots as souveniers. Photographed the meals, will put them online later.
I also like Kanoya, Tooko, Togei Mura and Moegi.
You really have to know where to go to see good pottery in the galleries
in Mashiko. With 400+ kilns, the quality really varies. Much of it is
lifeless factory and "production" work. But at least 10% is really good (40
potters) and 1% show real creative genius (at least four " creative genius'" out
of 400 in Mashiko.)
I've been so busy with my apprenticeship, that I haven't been able
to be a good "host", but I have given folks a Mashiko map with the best
galleries and shops marked.
