April 18, not much
We left Osaka and stopped at Nagoya to check out a china factory. Really neat tour. My favorites were seeing the automated plate-making system and seeing the workshops of the actual artists. We got to watch the glazing process and see a video of the clay shrinking as it baked. We walked through several galleries of both elegant and everyday-use items, but nothing jumped out at me so I didn’t pick anything up. Still, neat tour.
Mostly, though, that was it for the day. We got to our next (last!) hostel, planned for tomorrow, and rested up. Lots of reading, lots of DS, and lots of getting ready for the next day.
