It's a really neat little village/town to wander around in. There are kilns everywhere, with retail shops in front.

Hmmm. Neither "kyosoo" nor "dohbeen" seem to bring up appropriate information in Google. But when I use "Tokoname" as the primary search word, and then select "Images" in Google, I see many variations on that theme of teapot. Perhaps the style of pot takes it name from the name of the place which popularized it.
