Throughout Japan there are weekly, monthly and annual markets. If you are going to be in Japan check on line if any of these sales will be going on during your visit. You can "haggle" a bit and go home with a few treasures at reasonable prices.
You are invited to come along with me as I learn about Japanese ceramics. I will share what I learn about the kilns, history, terminology, potters, decorators, styles, and marks. This is a work in progress. ** NOTICE: I DO NOT ANSWER QUERIES ON PERSONAL PIECES. I DO NOT GIVE VALUATIONS. General comments and questions will still be accepted.
