Storm Clouds

Some sunshine between the downpours. This was the view after we had a visit to the local art gallery at the Pah Homestead to see a new exhibition: "Handcrafted Form".  This is a collection of hand crafted objects from Japan made from traditional materials with traditional techniques.  Some samples of the items are in the extras; Tsubame Hammered Copperware ( the leaf tea container  ) and Takaoka Copperware ( the paperweight ) also Tokyo hand-drawn silk in the form of the Kimono.
