Hi,

Normally, the topic is something about Japanese traditional crafts but this time is about my Germany friend like an extra edition.

I don’t know why but we were talking about hot spring resort and I asked him about Japanese public bath. His answer was “yes”.

I was surprised and told him so. He got idea by THERMAE ROMAE. However I could not explain about the difference between THERMAE ROMAE and Japanese public bath “SENTO” so tried to ignore the topic.

I must to practice my English … …

Then he mentioned “Japanese bath pail is cool But what is Kerorin?”

Accidentally, I had a photo of the product and showed the photo to him.
He wants that.

So I tried to be pleasure my friend and presented a photo which is planning to send as a set up.
Kerorin bath pail + Tenugui hand towel of Kyoto + Samurai cup
= the perfect set up!

I was waiting his reply.

Why!

Simply he said ”That’s too much … …”

Oh, the set was excessive preparation.

So once more, I tried to ignore the topic.
I showed a photo of the beginning of 20th century and waited his reply.

What a hell is this! Unmistakably antique one and he was repented.
I think the match was draw in this time.

I asked to send a Germany antique signboard for the next time to finish.

When the photo arrives, I would like to share in here.
