Both the previous master and the current (third) generation have focused on crafting delicate pieces, whether using clay (pottery) or stone (porcelain). "Handle them as you would thin glass; if treated with care, they will not break so easily. Is it not acceptable to craft even pottery to its thinnest possible limit?" the artist says. Works that pursue such thinness offer an exceptional mouthfeel.
