Field notes
The homepage describes its method as recording bowls one at a time, with each chawan linked to a kiln and family name. Its opening entry is for Ōhi ware in Kanazawa; the page also links to a Thai-language version and says more kilns are coming. No other entries or fuller club activity are visible in the extract.
