Hello. This is Taki from the UTSUWABI Editorial Department.
Due to the new coronavirus, we are living in a self-restraint mode, not going out or doing the 3Cs, and we are feeling tired every day.
Even the pottery fair that was scheduled to be held in the spring has been canceled or postponed in various places, making you feel sad that something you were looking forward to is suddenly gone.
In order to brighten that feeling even a little, "Online Pottery Markets" are being held on various sites where you can enjoy pottery markets at home.
This time, I have summarized the major online pottery fairs.
If you visit these events, you are sure to find the
vessel you want.
In addition, we are planning an event called
We would also like to introduce this to you.
STAY BUY at HOME exhibition (scheduled to be held from June 6th)
Here is the link to the Uchiru website
I was wondering if I could help.
Therefore, we decided to buy the works that were made for events by the artists we carry at our store and sell them at Uchiru.
First and foremost, it is important to protect lives, but we also hope to support the artists who create beautiful pottery and create fun for everyone who is spending an unaccustomed amount of time at home.
Number of participating artists: Approx. 25
Number of works: Approx. 2500
This year's online pottery market can be enjoyed at home

https://toukiichi.mashiko-db.net/
The Mashiko Spring Pottery Fair, which has been canceled, has started an online pottery market based on the theme of "In times like these, we want to create a place that warms the hearts of people as much as possible." I did.
The Mashiko Spring Pottery Fair (web version) will feature 151 participating artists, potteries, and retailers, and kiln unloading will be held three times.
For that reason, the works will be available gradually, so I would like to find one that is my favorite so that I don't miss it on any given day.
Number of works:More
than 1,300 works from 103 companies exhibited at the first kiln.

Summary
While various situations continue to arise due to the new coronavirus, it is unfortunate that we are no longer able to
go out, which we took for granted.
However, with the creation of a new form of pottery fair where you can enjoy the
pottery fair in the comfort of your own home, I feel that possibilities that have never been seen before have opened
up.
I would be happy if the online pottery market was an opportunity for people to learn how to spend time at home, enjoy cooking, discover new hobbies, discover themselves, and find their favorite pottery.
Thank you for reading until the end. I hope you all find good works!
