This was the Open House Sale & Exhibition that accompanied the lecture at Shoreline Community College. The postcard at left featured the following three items featured in the sale: Teacup by Shimaoka Tatsuzo (National Living Treasure,) ca. 1970's; Woodblock Print of Jar by Tomimoto Kenkichi (National Living Treasure,) ca. 1955; and a kasuri kimono from Kumejima Okinawa (designated a National important craft,) ca. 1960's.
