I worked with a Bizen Potter, Kanichi Mikami, for a period of 2 years. Actually I worked 4 days a week with him, returning to Kobe to teach English. We had a nice relationship where I worked for him from 8:30 till 3:00 then I had time to make my own pots. These pots are some of the fruit of that experience. They were all fired for 8 days in Mikami Sensei's traditional Bizen type noborigama.
