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.
Anita Sowell 64it was fun & enjoying to watch this Nashville Tenn. I dream up what I make I hand build my things 2022 from Clay Lady Studio thx God for her place.
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 wish I could meet him in person to see his work of arts in person just beautiful breathtaking work. I love the rough raw look of his pottery so kool. I would love to have some for my tea collection.
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.
im not much into pottery besides the bowl i made in 6th grade art class which i still have. that was years ago.. but i will say i do like the blue color glaze they made. they are happy with the orange, i like the blue :D interesting video. was nice for a change watching a documentary with out b grade actors dressing up in old outfits. rock on.
Muy lindas las piezas. Pero me pregunto, cuantos árboles queman al año?. Tal cual está el planeta; me parece una actividad contraria a su conservación.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony, then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the avatar, master of all four elements could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.
Read his abbreviated credentials above. Then ask who are these people who complain about his prices. That's how it is. For what profession is this not true?
39:20 Those small masks are useless, they let air in by the sides. I almost died while sanding glass using them. Always use a 3M 6000, 7500 or something better.
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.

you are a liar

The thought that a better firing was possible is quite unimaginable
We agree!
I absolutely love these documentaries on amazing potters/ artists. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
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.

Your pottery films are absolutely fantastic!

one of the most interesting documentaries on youtube i saw in a long time! thanks for that!
That DJ Honda sweatshirt - respect 🤙🏼
Absolutely FANTASTIC!
Japanese potters deserve every penny they make from selling these amazing pieces! Truly beautiful.
Well said!
AWESOME!
Glad you think so!
Tolles Video! Kann ich mir wieder und wieder ansehen!

Spellbound. Thanks for uploading.
Es très beau !

two years late but there is another one more focused on hearing from Ken.
Those chawans came out like pearls
I like the little pieces on the bottom of the pots, as they are feet... pottery walking 🚶♂️.
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!
Beautiful film, Goldmark.
Truly inspiring
Shades of ' Spirited Away' with the Kamaji boiler looking kiln ! Kamajiボイラーがキルンを見て「千と千尋の神隠し」の陰影!
I love Japan stoneware and ceramics ❤️
Hermosa su obra. Todo un maestro. Pero no deberían existir los hornos de madera. Los artistas debemos aportar, no quitar.
Gracias por tus amables palabras. Ciertamente es un dilema al que se enfrentan los alfareros de leña ...

Ken,you are very lucky pearson,with the talent and knowlege you have.
Thanks for uploading this. Amazing to watch. So glad that Ken bounced back after the earthquake. I look forward to the exhibition!
Absolutly amazing
Thank you for beautifully authentic work Jennie
Love these films!
👏👏👏👏👏
That was amazing! Thanks for sharing!

The engineer in me cringes at the inefficiencies, yet the artist holds nothing but admiration for Ken Matsuzaki.
Very nice! Thanks for uploading!
Inspiring
I'd be hard put to pick a favorite out of these! So wonderful and a nicely done video!
It makes me miss throwing pots and firing.
Amazing. I have watched 4 documentaries on your channel in the bast 24 hours! Best channel on You Tube.
This was the craziest $hit i ever did see with this 7-day firing
no one cares bro
I wonder if the zinc burning off of the sheet metal roofing they use when adding the charcoal has any effect on the glazes....
🥰
Incantevole

Eso me pregunto pero usualmente usan madera dañada.
For the ones asking please read the description. Thanks.
Question: What would using coal do?
how much for one of those pieces?
so if it takes this much time and effort to make these you can only imagine how long it takes to make stuff that does not look like shit would take.
+Greg Ward Keep in mind that you are only seeing these pieces on video, and likely not HD video, either.
feel free to make some better stuff and post a video here ;)
What do you consider good then? I bet it's not much better, each one have their own taste.
why did you add music to when Ken is throwing? not a fan, it takes away from being with him.

For a couple of pots he went home with a lot of dough... The prices were shameful high for burnt dirt !!!!
Why are you even watching this?

30 plus minutes of useless firing...an explanation with quick show of it would have been sufficient...the rest...nice pottery...
the art not good for nature..
only for ornament nothing more.
i don t know what the big deal is. Wally world sells them for $6.99, made in China...
HI
Does he plant forests? Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Sad that they have to destroy nature by cutting trees.
How many trees have you wasted this year in toilet paper to wipe your butt?
One like god please forgive me
