Newsletter (February 21, 2025 by Munehiko Maruta)

Hello everyone.

The cold days are still continuing,
The plum blossoms are starting to bloom.
Spring is just around the corner.

In addition to this weekly newsletter,
I occasionally post Karatsu news on Instagram and Facebook, but recently someone recommended that I try out a reel, and when I tried it, it received a surprising response.
I'm not very good at doing things and speaking, but I'd like to continue explaining recommended works from time to time in the future.

I think many of you like Karatsu,
It may be difficult to get to Karatsu,
I hope I can convey at least a little of the atmosphere of Ichibankan and Karatsu,
If you like, please open Instagram too.

This week's online shop features the works of Professor Maruta Munehiko, and I have uploaded a reel of the Korean Karatsu eared vase that was what attracted me the most this time.

Please take a look.

This weekend is a three-day weekend. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Naoki Sakamoto, Owner of Ichibankan
