Tokonome teapot "card"

by mbishop » Dec 15th, '10, 19:29

I just received my teapot from Tokoname (I got #851 from the catalog) and it had a small, neon green card with Japanese printed on it.

I'd imagine this is included in all Tokoname teapots, so does anyone know what it says?

Hopefully those images are clean enough.

Since you created the topic, I would say go ahead and post pics of it.

It has been over 2 years since I purchased a Tokoname kyusu, so I am drawing a blank.

The top image is instructions on how to use and take care of your kyuusu (kyuusuu no teire no tsukaikata).

The bottom image is a history of Tokoname pottery.
