I was in Japan last month. They drive on the wrong side of the road. You know what the strangest thing about that is? When you are walking down the street, and you look at the driver, and they are doing something completely inappropriate, like brushing their hair with both hands, or folding a huge map. Then you realize that person is not the driver. The guy in the other seat is the driver.

OK, so I still haven't posted pictures from that amazing trip, but I will soon. It was another Ceramics Workshop I attended in Mashiko, Japan, run by the very funny and talented Steve Tootell. He featured Matsuzaki Ken, a deshi of the National Living Treasure Shimaoka-san. Matsuzaki Ken demonstrated coil and wheel-thrown pots.

I gotta get some pictures up....
