		These are used on the scholars table to drop tiny drops of water on the solid ink used in calligraphy and sumi ink drawings.
		Louis Lawrence, in his book "Hirado, Prince of Porcelain", accurately summed up why this Japanese porcelain is widely regarded as the finest to ever come out of Japan -it is a true world class ceramic made of the finest clay from Amakusa Island.
		Hirado is characterized by the extreme smoothness of the clay and its ability to adapt to very unusual shapes because of its malleability and resistance to running in the firing process.

		Graph 1 shows Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and two stations classified in the GHCN as rural: Izuhara, on Tsushima Island in the Korea Strait; and Hirado, on the SW tip of Kyushu, which was not included in the CRU dataset.
		There are any number of possible explanations: Nagasaki and Hirado might have had non-climatic warming jumps in 1960 due to site or equipment changes, or perhaps all the stations had such changes.
		Fortunately Hirado is not the only other rural station in the region.

	FIND! - Antique Japanese Jar
		Blue-and-white porcelain was produced at Hirado, a coastal town in southwestern Japan, as early as the 17th century.
		Judging by its size and the ornate mushroom decoration at the base, this jar was probably made around 1900 as a presentation piece, which would have been bestowed as a gift on a ceremonial occasion.
		Good Hirado porcelain is hard to find today, and this piece is rare because of its size and decoration.

	A Rare Hirado Celadon Glaze Hai Dai- Sake Cup Stand (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-4.cs.princeton.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This is the one of the few Hirado pieces we have seen in a celadon glaze - it is then further made unique by the underglaze blue and white decoration at the top circle where the sake cup would rest.
		The blue and white rim could indicate that this is an early form of Nabeshima since celadon ware in that ceramic is not unknown and the geometric design fits a standard early Nabeshima style.
		However there are a couple of examples of Hirado in celadon in the classic book on Hirado by Louis Lawrence.
