@ kakejiku, thank you for joining and posting! Sometimes it's tough to get the translation right, so it's good to have that perspective!
@ cbobgo, Tokoname pots are surprisingly lighter in weight than you'd expect. Chinese (and Houtoku pots) are denser, heavier clay bodies. Glazed pots tend to have very rich, deep textures, and lighter colored clay bodies. I have a couple from Yamafusa signed as KOIE Takehiko, and one from Yoshimura, signed as Sadamitsu Kataoka, with an amazing blue glaze.
@smoke...nice taste in pots!
@ all: I have a listing of the Tokoname chops and the associated potters I found somewhere a few years ago, but can't upload it because it's a PDF. PM me with your email address if you're interested and I'll email it to you.
