Cleaning out closets and found some cool things
-
In her 20s, my great-grandmother went to Japan. By herself. For about a month. No one else seems to appreciate how freaking weird this is.
Anyway, I have a lot of stuff from her trip that I straightup stole from my parents, because they'd just put it on display or throw it in storage. I use the stuff.
Here's a cup from a full tea set that's pretty interesting:
@Aqua-Letifer wow!

@Aqua-Letifer wow!
@George-K The portrait isn't paint, by the way. The density if the cup was manipulated to create it.

very cool. How did she get to Japan?
No idea, and no one can tell me any more details.

@Aqua-Letifer That is very neat!!! I am sure she had some interesting stories from back then.

I am impressed, by the artistry of the cup and by your great-grandmother taking a solo trip to Japan.

Aqua, that really is remarkable that she did that trip in her 20s. About what year was that?
Your parents won't care you have the cups. They'll be glad you appreciate the set enough to want it.

I really don't know; my family doesn't even know when exactly she went, just "some time in her 20s." Best I can figure is somewhere around 1950, give or take half a decade?
