Many thanks.

Would the gold repair on the interior lip be considered Kintsukuroi , "to repair with gold"?

Here is a better pic of the "Kintsukuroi , "to repair with gold" repair.  Also, it is a sake cup as the dia is 3"

Would really like to know what it says on it.

Here are a few clearer? shots of the writing around the rim. Does anyone hear read Japanese?

One person on the collectibles board said one character said "exhibition". Thanks for any help.
