<p>Picnic time!</p>

<p>There was a display of goods made by people for whom craft is a hobby, but still, the level of talent is high</p>

<p>These will make any dining table more stylish</p>

<p>Every display had a distinct concept</p>

<p>Very nice!</p>

<p>Almost too cute to eat off or drink from</p>

<p>Some very elegant sushi plates</p>

<p>An assortment of cups</p>

<p>More classy ceramics</p>

<p>Wow! Breathtaking craftsmanship on display</p>

<p>This display exudes refinement</p>

<p>(Checks dictionary)... geometricians would probably enjoy these</p>

<p>Lively and colourful cups</p>

<p>More cuteness</p>

<p>Racing car cups! Vroom!</p>

<p>Different shapes, different messages</p>

Held once a year in Tokyo Dome, the Tokyo Tableware Festival is what it sounds like - a week-long event devoted to dining room goods. This is a second selection of pictures, and really, I could have done another two stories, there was that much to see, and so much variety. Part 1 is here, but it's best to go to the event and see for yourself!
