Getting my own Nobebera

Though we fire the bisque at Studio Wani, the turnaround time is much faster than usual, allowing us to see the test results without waiting days or more. This makes these three weeks a lot more productive than my three weeks in Los Angeles.

I also started to think about how I keep practicing and producing the way I have learned during the residency, using the same tools and methods. One of them is getting special tools before I leave for the U.S. Kenichiro took us to a small workshop where we could get Nobebera (throwing tool from Hasami area). There are many selections of sizes and the kind of wood that made of.
