Pottery Paperwork Help

[sabi]

Happy Sunday NMB,

 

This was included with a guinomi I picked up recently and it appears to be original to the package. I'd love to know what it says if anyone here wouldn't mind taking a minute and helping me out.

 

The potter is Tadashi Sasaki and I can make out those characters, but nothing else.

 

Thanks so much!

Hello Evan,

 

Its a short bio of the potter's various achievements from 1948 to 1965. "Placed first in such-and-such exhibition" , "Showed at the 2nd Annual Japanese Modern Pottery Exhibition" etc... It ends with his address (in Tajimi city, Gifu prefecture) and phone number.

 

Nothing super exciting, I'm afraid. Seems he passed away in 1997. I found this from another web site, not from this slip.

Thanks Steve!

 

While not exciting it was definitely helpful! There have been a couple artists with this name and I was hoping I had the right one, finding info isn't always easy to verify. The dates of his achievements coincide perfectly with the working period of who I was thinking this piece was by.

 

Much appreciated, thank you very much for taking the time to help.
