Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy a couple of books, but can't
find any specific info about them, so
I'm looking for anyone who owns them and might be able to provide some
information about them:

The Karatsu Ceramics of Japan: Origins, fabrication, and types
by Johanna Lucille Becker

Karatsu Ware: A Tradition of Diversity
by Johanna Becker

I'd like to find out if these are originally English publications,or if
they were translated from existing publications in Japan. Also, what
kinds of info they contain, photos, techniques, particular artists, etc...


ALSO


I have just posted 4 books from the Kodansha Living National Treasure
Series. This series is a large format series (10 1/2 x 14 in.)
containing many large high quality color, and b/w photos of artists
work, as well as the artists working, and their workshops, tools, etc...

Shoji Hamada : Living National Treasure of Japan Item number:
6554098925
