A study of nine families; (from 2005 through 2007) from
the original documentary film =3D93Potters of Japan=3D94 in 1968
by Richard and Marj Peeler.

The Kondo, Shimaoka, Ichino, Kaneshige, Mori, Kato,
Fujiwara, Waraku and Takahashi family names are synonymous
with Japanese pottery. Each produces ceramic
work that is respected and admired by thousands of
Japanese and individuals throughout the world. This book
is a review of each family since the original film and essentially
a study of contemporary Japanese Ceramics from
1968 to the present. There are as many similarities as differences
among this group of potters. Tradition is pivotal
here; family name, prestige, artistic and technical secrets
are passed from generation to generation, each family
developing their own expression and unique qualities.
Today Japan=3D92s studio pottery has grown and there are
many more people working and expanding the traditions
of the original six old kilns (rokkouyo).

This book is an introduction to studio pottery in Japan today, as was the
Peeler documentary in 1968.
