Amakusa Report by Leanne Sorry for the late notice, but for those interested in pottery, don’t miss the Amakusa Pottery Festival held from tomorrow Friday, November 2nd to November 5th. This year there will be over 100 pottery studios displaying and selling their products. I think it is a great place to pick up holiday gifts; not only are they handmade and supporting the local industry, but they are also beautiful and practical! For those not so interested in pottery, there are also lectures, workshops and delicious locally produced food.
