Rather than thrifting and antiquing, in this video we're exploring the kinds of ceramics available for sale at the *Zenkoku Dai Touki Ichi*, known in English as *Japan’s Pottery Market*. This event, operated by the Japan Pottery Promotion Association, is held several times a year in different locations across Japan (please refer to their website below for details).
Thank you so much for watching and hope you enjoy the content.

*About me:*
Hi! I’m Michelle, a half Japanese, half British Tokyoite🇯🇵🇬🇧who thrifts for both resale and for keeps .
The focus is mainly on homeware, ceramics, ornaments and traditional folk craft.
We will be visiting thrift/vintage/antique shops and markets within Tokyo, and beyond.
"Tokyotique" was the name of my Mercari Japan account ("Tokyo" + "Boutique") when I first started the shop.
Hope you enjoy coming along with me to shops and markets in Tokyo, and beyond!
