Everyone thinks they’re going to craft the outside shape of their bowl. They think they’ve decided on the perfect shape after careful consideration. But they’re wrong.
Don’t force it.
As the pottery wheel spins along and you lose your yourself in the interior of the piece, the outside forms itself into a beautiful shape. All on its own.
-Masatake Fukumori, “Ho+“
みんなね、（うつわの）外の形をつくろうと思う。
こう見て、この形がいいという。違うんよ。
形をつくろうと思っちゃいけません。
ろくろを回していて、中が、こうゆったりぐわーっとひけたら、
外もきれいになってるのよ、自然に。
