Morningmarket

It was a chilly morning with the mist about rising over the bridges across the Miyagawa.

I kept my gloves on when visiting the morning market along the river and the farmer's wives offering their fresh produce covered their knees with blankets to keep the cold at bay. They come from nearby villages with vegetable, fruit and pickles. One stall presented a great variety of delicious apples and thin slices for you to try.
There were stalls with textiles as well obviously for the visitors, although pretending to be in the local Sashiko technique the label gave the goods away as "Made in China"...
