Gifts for the Emperor and Empress of Japan

We have had some wonderful news recently that just shows that the world is full of coincidences. Before traveling to Japan in May, Julia was asked by the Prime Ministers office to do a commission of her Window Vase series. We have just found out that these pieces were presented to the Emperor and Empress of Japan during their current visit to Canada. This feels like even more of an honour after our time in Japan researching craft traditions.
