樹ノ音工房

this little pottery workshop in hongo turns into a cafe on the whims of the owners, and for 1,800 yen serves up cake and also a beverage of your choice in a hand-made ceramic cup that you get to bring home. though there were a few other designs to choose from, it was love at first sight for me with that little doggy cup. i had a much harder time choosing the cake.

i love the textures of everything there-from the rough touch to the ceramic wares down to the unpolished wooden look of the tables and chairs. it was a simple little place filled with hand-made goodness. i’d sign up to learn pottery with this workshop in a heartbeat if they’d only teach me how to create that rough texture and etch my own illustrations on it. but that’s probably trade secret. dang.
