It was a nice day when we visited Mashiko to have a look around the crockery fair which is held every Golden Week Holidays. We can buy crockery at half the price off the market price. A lot of potters from all over the country opened up tentative stores focusing around Jonaizaka which is the main street of Pottery.
Unfortunately we had devastating tornadoes in Kita Kanto region on the 6th. One of them wreaked havoc in Mashiko. I haven’t heard a lot of damages there but I suspect bad weather prevented people to come. Even Utsunomiya city were I live had a gust.
According to Shimotsuke Shimbun (local newspaper) said that city of Moka and the towns of Mashiko and Motegi in Tochigi, around 914 houses were damaged by a gust.
