| I love my HOHRYU kyusu! When I first opened my box and held the kyusu, I felt like I was holding an ancient and precious treasure. It took me a couple of days of merely admiring and touching it before I dared to use it. Now that I got over my intimidation, I enjoy so mu...(more) | |||

|
5145 | 06/08/2016 |
| This lovely set of Yunomi is part of a gift from my dear husband. If you look at the photo closely, you will notice that the porcelain has a fine blue glaze. My set appeared more blue than I thought, but I still love it even though it is not a true white. Because of the...(more) | |||
