We need more talented potter/writers. Leach's writing legacy is
probably more important than the pots he made. We really wouldn't
know anything about Hamada with out it. Hewitt's "The Potter's Eye"
does his pottery grandfather justice.

I highly recommend Louise Cort's books on Seto and Mino and
also the one on Shigaraki. She is a national living treasure.

Lee: I believe Rob Barnard is such a writer. Google his site, reading the
