Asakura Mashime (AKA Mercy the Potter) has been offered the Laurel by Their Majesties of CAID. I will be making pilgrimage to the south the weekend of May 11 to bear witness to her elevation and offer my support and congratulations as it is well deserved and high time.
I am the proud and delighted owner of several pieces of Asakura-hime's beautiful pottery, including the tea bowl pictured here:
