Thank you for viewing my items (*^^*) This is Seiji ware from Kosajiyaki of Kuniyama Kiln in Nasu District, Tochigi Prefecture (*^^*) Kuniyama Kiln suffered extensive damage in the earthquake and had to close, so these items are now hard to come by. I received this as a gift and have kept it stored away, but I have no place to display it, so it's just gathering dust. I hope it goes to someone who truly appreciates it!! It has been stored in the box, but please note that there are some notes written on the box (^_^;) Thank you very much (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)⁾⁾⁾ Peko
