Field notes
The homepage combines a shape reference with a vocabulary lesson: each of twelve forms includes a practical inspection cue, such as checking whether a plate rocks or whether a teapot spout sits level with the rim. Supporting sections explain terms including kodai, throwing rings, trimming, and chatter, then move into glazing and care. The site presents the material as independent and unsponsored, with no analytics or tracking.
