I bought some from an eBay dealer called seaside*collectibles. They were beautiful pieces. The dealer said that the company was producing stuff from the mid 1940s - early 60's and was a steady importer from Japan. Royal Sealy made a bunch of luster ware and are very popular now for their unusual tea cups and head vases.
Because during the time Japan and China started trading so Japan received gun powder, also the west was no friend of China but kept their trading routes (including weaponary) to Japan. Because of china's being so enclosed and tight they hardly got any new technology except what they made by themselves
Taiwan is an island off the coast of China, so it isn't "bordered" directly by any countries. However, there is China to the east, Japan and the Koreas to the north, and the Philippines to the south.
The US opened up trade with Japan directly, being the first Western country to violate Japan's isolationist policy. As a result, they established embassies and consulates in Japan and traded directly with the Shogunate and (later) Empire of Japan. Conversely, by the time the US arrived in China, Western countries had already carved up much of China into Spheres of Influence. As a result, the US pursued the "Open Door Policy" which was a policy that would allow the US (and any other Western power) to operate in any of the extant Spheres of Influence.
Marco Polo traveled to Asia and i took 3 and a half years.
The US didn't want Australia to be invaded because they were using it as a base of operations in the Pacific naval campaign against the Japanese. The loss of Australia as a based would have severly hindered the American efforts to push the Japanese out of the South Pacific.

At the present time, China has a much more powerful military force than Japan does. I will add that there does not appear to be any reason to expect war to break out between China and Japan. China has been working very hard to develop its economy and to improve its standard of living, and that would be accomplished much better by trade with Japan rather than war with Japan. Nonetheless, China has the capacity to destroy Japan, should it wish to do so.
