Put China in the name
When you sell a product and the description starts "Kota Japan Large Black Granite Mortor..." the consumer is going to assume it's from Japan. Not declaring (prominently) that it's a product of China with a name like that is deceiving. The quality is reasonable, it seasoned well, and so far has done the job. With China's history of tainted products the fact that it's made of granite is the only reason we kept it.
