I hope someone out there can interpret what is on the bottom of this Japanese teapot. Some copies came from China. We'd like to know if this is real or not.

I don't know if this is upside-down or right-side up.

Yes, it's real. If it wasn't real, you wouldn't have been able to take a picture of it.

Here it is right side up, if that helps.

I does appear to be Japanese rather than Chinese but I don't know either language

Oh thank you Jerry. That's sooo much more useful. Now, if only someone could read and translate the characters.

Actually if you post a number of very clear photos of your pot we may be able to tell.

This is the one we've had for years, but there are made in China copies that are close in appearance.
