From Tokyo to Mashiko - A conversation with Hiki, the founder of Uguisu Store
Update: 2024-09-26
Description
In this episode of The Polkaros Potcast, I traveled to Mashiko, a pottery town in Japan, to visit my good friend Hiki who runs a Japanese craft and gift store called Uguisu.
Hiki has moved from Tokyo to Mashiko in the recent years. It was nice catching up with her and learning about how living in Mashiko has changed her perspective on life and deepened her appreciation for traditional Japanese crafts and nature.
We also talked about the local craftsmen she collaborates with, including potters, bamboo artisans, and indigo dyers. Hiki shared her thoughts on working with craftsmen and the nuance of balancing supply and demand.
Hope you enjoy this episode!
