Thank you for your hard work
 
Wow, you found it! Forgive the delayed response, I overlooked the email notice. Does this Quote from wikipedia have any relevance to the mark on the pot? "Paulownia is the mon of the office of prime minister and also serves as the emblem of the cabinet and the government (vis-à-vis the chrysanthemum being the Imperial Seal of Japan)" The stylized leaf and stem, on the pot, also look like Paulownia. Are the Kanji just there to indicate what the design is of? I am just beginning to learn about how Kanji works. I appreciate your help in how to ask the right questions.

I think you need to consult a pottery expert, not a Japanese speaker.

I think that the mark on the bottom is just a title for the drawing on the pot. The way that ink drawings will sometimes state what the drawing is of. Does this sound like it is in keeping with Japanese tendencies?
Are these marks just as likely to indicate a Chinese origin?
