Editorial Reviews:
Description Several years before his death the renowned British potter Bernard Leach gave several rare films on Japan to Canadian film maker Marty Gross.
Produced by a pre-war cultural organization in Japan, the film is a work of rare clarity and beauty which follows an entire pottery making cycle as performed in that village for centuries. Mashiko ceramic manufacture is said to date back to 1853, when a potter from a neighbouring village came as an adopted son to a Mashiko farming family. The village later became one of the most prolific producers of utilitarian ware for Tokyo; principally jars, mortars, and teapots.

Fascinating and rivetingMay 22, 2008 B. Maranda(Blue Mountains - Australia) If you're looking for a fast-paced tutorial on how to throw pots on the wheel this is not but it will give you rare insight into traditional pottery throwing and decorating techniques. The film is in itself a work of art and very important historical footage which would be treasured by anyone looking for inspiration to tackle traditional oriental production throwing techniques.
We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
