Everyone interested in pottery and crafts will find this practical guide a valuable
addition to both bookshelf and workshop. Penny Simpson, an English potter living
in Japan, and Kanji Sodeoka, her Japanese colleague, have compiled a step-by-step
manual of the way pots are made in Japan, their forms, and their decorations.
The authors give a thorough account of both traditional and modern techniques
and also describe in detail tools, materials, glazes, and the setup of workshops
and kilns. Lucy Kitto's lettering and sprightly drawings infuse each page with
life and clarity.
Pottery terms and expressions are listed with their Japanese equivalents, making
it possible for the Western potter to arrive at a more intimate understanding
of Japanese pottery and, when necessary, to communicate with Japanese potters
in their own language. A godsend to potters, students, and collectors, this book
will be especially welcome to the growing number of potters who come into direct
contact with their Japanese counterparts either at home or in Japan. |
