There was/is a "mens" magazine in Japan which had a weekly series called
"Otoko no Yakimono" (Men's pottery) . It featured wounderful pots from all
over Japan . I would like to know if the articles were ever compiled into a
book.
Often I could find a copy left on the train by some poor salaryman.
Unfortunately I only saved about 15 articles. Only in Japan would you find
a magazine which features trashy nudes and classy pots .

Greetings Eric from Numazu-
I know of that series you wrote about- quite a few of my friends were
featured in it.
I haven't seen it in the past few years and I don't think a book was
ever compiled-
I'll keep an eye out though.
