Description:In 1983 Leila Philip made her way to southernmost Japan in search of a potter who would take on a foreign apprentice. In Miyama—a village settled almost four centuries ago by seventy Korean potters—she was accepted as an apprentice into the workshop and home of master potter Kazu Nagayoshi and his wife, Reiko.

With good humor and vivid detail, she tells of days spent planting and harvesting rice in the paddies.
