    What a treat coming back to this 10 years later. Rest in peace Philip Rogers.

    I come back to these documentaries every now and then.
    Both in remembrance of Phil and to sate my undying fondness of Ken's works and philosophy.

    And now this is how a documentary should be made! A few very informative comments and explanations here and there, no invasive background music. Respect thru silence. There's no need to fill every frame of a film with voice and music. Let the images speak for themselves. Very nicely done.

    I like the throwing pots on the wheel and grinding the bottom of the pots outside after the kiln is opened! Cheers!

      Thank you. It's interesting to see all the different processes that potters use.

      Really like Phil Roger's input, I enjoy watching these wood fire artists while I clean up my studio. I figure all the labor involved gets me working on my bit!

    900 pieces in that kiln he fired for 7 days & 7 nights! That's intense! @13:53 Phil Rogers does a great job explaining how the reduction, especially when using charcoal, actually creates those amazing colors on the glazes.

    Really excellent. Fascinating insight into the effort that goes into making pots. Curious though, aside from the tradition if there isn't some insights from physics on how such temperatures and the control could be achieved more efficiently. Perhaps it wouldn't be the same, more controlled thus more predictable results.

    I agree it's a beautiful film! It's a pity no one thought to interview Matsuzaki himself during the documentary. I would much rather hear Ken's own words and read their translation than have that other fellow speak for Ken throughout the film.

    A nice glimpse into a dedicated and no doubt successful Mashiko potter's life. As a potter the money moment is the opening of the kiln. Good one!

    I wonder if the zinc burning off of the sheet metal roofing they use when adding the charcoal has any effect on the glazes....
