Subject:Japanese writing at the bottom of carved teapot.
Posted By: Spartakos Wed, Aug 22, 2018 IP: 49.49.238.217
This rather large (1,2 L) clay teapot is very nicely carved, there is 2 artists signatures. Also a very long inscription at the bottom any ideas what is it? Any secret tea recipe?
Thank you.

Tokoname ware from Aichi.
The inscription on the bottom is quite smudgy.
According to it, a certain Mr(s)Ozaki bought it in 1963 in the Nara Matsuzakaya Store at a special time limited sale one minute before closing time.

With regards,
I.Nagy
