Yes, and the letters between Mack and Leach are priceless. Maybe a
new addition could include some of Warren's interview with the Smithsonian.
Peter Lee, the photographer of the book for Kodansha always
complained with I brought tenmoku pots in to be photographed. He is a
perfectionist and he would explain that I could not afford to pay him to
get a good non-glare shot of a tenmoku pot, so I should just photo
others. He said only Kodansha could afford a good photo of a tenmoku
pot. ;-)
