The opening of Handcrafted Form: Traditions and Techniques of Japan was attended by a host of distinguished guests, including the diplomatic core, veterans of Japanese potteries and lovers of all things Japanese. In fact, all the nations of Group F were represented at the opening, just as those teams were facing a final show-down in Germany for the World Cup. We had the consuls of Japan, Croatia and Brazil (represented by Portugal).
