It was about 8 years ago. A very nice old Japanese couple. She spoke English, he didn't.

People would ask about something, and he would give his wife a price so she could tell us in English. Everything was pretty high priced, and I didn't buy a thing. This time I wasn't sure if I should even go in, but I did. The sale was being held by their daughter this time. Her parents had both passed and she was clearing out everything to sell the house. I picked up these two 6" bowls. There were 4 but two were badly damaged. She looked them up in her father's book. All it said about these bowls were "Aoki first four years". She asked, how about $5 each. I left happy I don't know how he knew that, but as you can see the marks are hand done as they are both a little different.
