@@raysville7256 Agreed, as an American potter its depressing to see the sacrifice of self that Japanese apprentices must endure, but pottery lineage is so valued in Japan that the practice is certainly not without reward Though as I result I think this system will often promote potters whos work is borderline reproduction of their master's, once independent the apprentices often only know how to make their master's work but the expectations are too high to attempt something more personal and fail
Tom i've met and worked with this Apprentice. He's a little cooked in the coconut. Ken is a lovely guy, incredibly generous with his time and knowledge.
Did you work with my Uncle Murray Fieldhouse in Tring?? I also love experimental raku approaches to ceramics....my name is Ben Emerson and run Tincan Pottery....
@廓然無聖 what do you even mean? I just enjoyed the video why are you so negative. And im not sure what japenglish is but English is my native language and i just really enjoyed the calming aspect of the video.
I think that says more about you than it does about the master potter and his apprentice. Did you expect the apprentice to join in ? Offer his advice to the master ? You are delusional
I know the firing process is incredibly old school and traditional which makes it a feat in and of it’s self. But the pieces are blah, boring. I know this guy is some adored potter but if I didn’t know it was his work Idd never look twice at this stuff. Honest truth. It’s his name thst sells not the ugly pottery.
Great to see such a beautiful collection of work! Thank you for sharing.
This is fantastic thank you! I wish there were more videos detailing wood fire kilns and Ken's is amazing
I cannot describe the type of clay used in the demonstration. It seems to contain grog but on the other hand it seems to be very soft and flexible.
a work of staggering brilliance Arigato
Merci pour toutes vos idées créatives!
his assistant is very careful to avert his gaze at all times
This system is feudal, but the apprentice, if he survives, will gain a tremendous sponsorship from the Sensei.

He has such a beautiful property!
Truly Magnificent!
A dream assistant who pays attention to the task at hand instead of paying attention to Instagram!
a tip : you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Bruce Khalil definitely, have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself =)
Es un maestro !!
Amazing, this video is just so chill and i love that he is accepting and praising what some might consider flaws in the pieces :)

What is the source of the black clay he is using? I see variations of it in use with other Japanese potters but it seems impossible to find in the US.
Try looking at Seattle pottery supply, there's one called Eclipse
I saw a black clay sold at an online store called the Ceramicshop in Norristown PA

It would be nice to know what he is saying!

I know everyone just raves over his assistant but I see him as subservient which doesn't appeal to me at all.
You must be an American.
@@glenncambray626 I am. What I mean is that he seems to demean him, like he's royalty. But maybe that's how the cadte system works
@@joysmith1213 By "Cadte system" I assume you mean caste system.The caste system is in India so it has no connection to Japan.
