Some of the best narratives on Japanese pottery I have heard. Definitely saving this video to my Japanese Mengei and crafts pinboard. I will want to watch this many many times. My only "direct" contact with Japanese arts was with potter Hamada and calligrapher Kojo Sakamoto (he studied under Tessai) Loved this so much. So many beautiful pots. Thank you 💖
Without doubt one of the videos with the highest production quality and most informational content I've ever seen on TH-cam. Love the little anecdotes!
Incredible collection.. The pieces are more than beautiful ! I can almost hear them speaking. The explanation is just priceless. Thank you very much for this share.
I’ve just started learning about clay and using clay. I’ve watched this about 5 times so far. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge
After decades collecting American Art Pottery (Craftsman Era), I have developed a strong interest in Japanese ceramics. The philosophy of finding beauty in the imperfect, finding inspiration in nature, the interaction of clay and glaze, the beauty of wood fired ash surfaces, arouse my love of their beauty. I have found potters in California, one who was from Japan and studied finance before renouncing it to follow a calling to ceramics, and his American wife who spent six years as an apprentice in Japan. I'm beginning to branch out further and these videos serve as a place to learn about the important movements and potters of Japan.
I have been a potter for 40 years,and still can’t get enough of noble pots such as those in your collection.you are obviously a dedicated man.but it’s the affection in which you hold these works that touches me.a privilege to share time with you.thank you.
what an incredible collection. I loved !!! the guided tour and wish I could touch feel cradle these objects with my hands....so sensational, perfect imperfect! straight to the heart
Absolutely wonderful. What an extraordinary range of creativity. It is inspirational to me. Thank you. Difficult to understand how this level of creativity exists.
Gordon, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful collection! I saw it recently at the Japan House in Hollywood, and the exhibit was so skillfully put together, with the exquisite photography that captured the spirit of the ceramics, and the sparse information about the various regions in which the art was produced. I spent time looking at each piece, traveling in one direction through the exhibit, and to my surprise when I had made the circuit of the space, I had to return in the other direction as the art appeared different from another direction. Such a pleasure!
LOVE this video. Thank you so much for sharing not only the beautiful pottery but your insight into it's creation. I especially loved the inclusion of the photography with it. It has inspired me to look even more closely at nature in my own surroundings in a different more questioning way.
Brilliant video. Anyone else notice At the very end 34:30 where he speaks people going to the falls to write one last poem before throwing themselves over the falls. The rock in the video looks like a human figure falling headfirst down to the bottom
It was an enlightenment to me. My journey through Japanese ceramics goes through tea ware. And it started with a tea bowl by Keichiiro Sho. Do you know anything about this potter? I love this piece, it is really well shaped, Balanced Hagi with snow White glaze. Thank you for your video
when, after thousands of years, our descendants unearth such clay products in the earth, they will think for a long time about the purpose of these objects
I think that not only the pottery is important but also the name of the artist. The name has to be spelled correctly, else it would be dishonoring. So please if you could change 'Ken MATZUSAKI' to Ken MATSUZAKI, not only that would be a honor to the artist but also improve the quality of your video. Great collection. Kind regards.
This art is great. It reminds me of an artist I found on etsy who hand builds japanese style pottery like raku and kintsugi: www.etsy.com/shop/TheVillagePotter
You mentioned that this style of pottery goes back 7000 years, I was under the impression that human history can only be traced back 4000-5000 years, so may I suggest that your information be called Bullshito.
Rod Laceyiitoo bulshito eatitoo mastrito. Human history is dated back and fairly explored at certain sites of large settlements for more then 40 000 years.. And the Jomon period (including making bodies of clay and firing them) in japan is about 10 000 bce making it some 12 000 years now. I suggest you read something written on papyrus sir, it envigours the mind and spirit! :) cheers
Do you understand the term prehistoric, it started about 6 thousand yrs ago, everything before then is unprovable and hence, bullshito, you may think otherwise but you have no proof .

The post is made so much more enjoyable, beyond the beauty of the individual pieces, by the narrator's passion for his collection.
This is the most pleasant way to hear and learn something about Japanese pottery.

Are there any women in Japan?
"essentially become almost glass" How can you collect ceramics and not know that glaze is glass...?
The third object reminds me on Homer Simpson becoming an artist!
This art is great. It reminds me of an artist I found on etsy who hand builds japanese style pottery like raku and kintsugi: www.etsy.com/shop/TheVillagePotter
only one female potter? Come on!
Much talking of yourself.

I think you need to do more research before making insults where they're not deserved or needed.
