Susa was the ancient Biblical site of Shushan, the scene of the Biblical story of Esther, and of Daniel in the lion's den. It is today known as the city Shush in Iran, just east of Sumer. The 27th Century BC population of this 300 acre settlement was about 20,000 citizens and slaves. Susa, which was located on the Ulai Canal, functioned as the capital of the province of Susiana, and was the primary capital of the Biblical country of Elam, whose god, Inshushinak, was the patron deity of the city -- a temple of Inshushinak was built in the urban center of Susa, where your 5,000-year-old high-psychometric "reading" artifact was excavated.

Raku pottery is known today as a low-temperature exotic ceramic technique, but originally it meant ceramics specifically made by the Raku family. The premises of the Raku family establishment dates back to Chôjirô. The workshop and the kiln are in back of the main house, where the unchanged tradition has been kept for more than 400 years.
Raku-ware is difficult to make, delicate in nature, low-fired and therefore
very vulnerable, and is among the most highly prized ceramicware in the Far
East. Actual Medieval Period Raku-ware is sometimes used in very
important tea-ceremonies, and many highly regarded monks in Japan have
used this very valued Korean ceramicware for their ceremonies. It is, if
course, unthinkable to break a teacup during a tea ceremony -- they are
handled with the utmost care.
