Regarding Mishima Hakeme, there is a good book titled “Mishima Hakeme” written by Mankichiro Yamada, published by Hounsha in 1943. The author lived in Muan (Jeollanam-do), Korea for nearly 30 years, where he excavated and investigated the kiln sites of Mishima and others, and published his research in the magazine “Chawan” and other publications. This is a valuable document that introduces the true story of Mishima and Hakeme to Japan for the first time.
