POHERY-MAKING

Deborah went to Japan last year and happened to visit Nagoya and
the nearby Seto where she saw pottery' being made for the first time.
Since then, she's taken a keen interest in pottery-making.
Now she wants to find out something of the ceramics (that's
another high-faluting word meaning pottery' that she's picked up) of
other countries.
Anyway, she claims that pottery-making of ail the arts best

expresses the inherent love of the Japanese for line and color. It
calls for depth of feeling, unerring craftsmanship and has been for
more than 500 years one of the principal arts of Japan.
CRUDE ORIGINS

A short study of the history of pottery-making reveals that it had
been
practiced in Japan for more than 1000 years. However, it re­
