Note 421 — Chapter XVI

Kochi, the Japanese name for Kochin China, seems to have been used in a vague and comprehensive sense for Southern China, and we understand by Kochi yaki the old pottery shipped from the coast towns of Fukien and Kuangtung. This category in Japan seems to include not only a variety of earthenware with coloured glazes—green, yellow, aubergine, turquoise, and violet—but the coarser, yellowish white wares of the t´u ting (see p. 90) type. See Brinkley, op. cit., vol. ix. p. 29.
