My name is Aiko Ichimura. I just joined this list Serve. I am also a member
of Japanese Pottery list Serve from Japan. One of our members had started
teaching pottery class and he has a American student. He is trying to explain
basic Japanese techniques but did not know English terms for those
techniques. Does anyone know any book, dictionary, or web site that has
English and Japanese term for pottery techniques. Any hint or suggestions
would be appreciated.

I just checked with Amazon Books via the internet and they seem to have
"The Japanese Pottery Handbook" in stock. You could probably get it in a
couple of weeks.
