We have been planning to start a whole series of articles about Yixing, including several translations of articles and parts of books written by the world’s leading experts, all in upcoming issues. For now, we thought we would start with an article introducing the “Pottery City” itself. And you can look forward to an Yixing article in every issue from now on.
