For the past three years, I've gone on a summer trip with three of my best friends in Japan. The first year we went to Hiroshima and Miyajima and the second year we went to Naoshima, which is hands down my absolute favourite place in Japan. This year, we did a winding bus tour that went to Hida-Takeyama in Gifu prefecture, Toyama city in Toyama prefecture, Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture and finally back to Gifu to visit Shirakawago, one of Japan's most well-known World Heritage Sites.

Here are some handmade sake cups in Hida-Takayama’s historic Edo shopping district. The Edo-style shopping streets were full of dark little shops selling lovely souvenirs like these and my fingers were just itching to reach for my wallet. Alas, with just a few days left in Japan, I've been trying desperately to downsize rather than accumulate more -- but it literally hurt to walk away from this table! I decided to content myself with a photo instead.

One of the things I love most about Japan is its traditional crafts. Japanese dining itself (kaiseki, for example) can be a leisurely and relaxing experience full of flavours, colours and textures. The aesthetic of Japanese tableware is likewise designed to invigorate the senses. The array of colours and sense of texture are so organic and natural, reflecting not only the complexity of the food, but that of Japan's natural landscape itself. This is one of the things I'll miss most about Japan.
