This short film is about my one year apprenticeship in Japan with master potter Ken Matsuzaki. It follows my journey prior to leaving and during my second month in Mashiko. It touches upon some of the cultural differences between East and west in the student-teacher relationship. This documentary was made for Hawaiian airlines in-flight programming "Hawaiian Skies", which features stories about lifestyle, culture or art that connects Hawaii to other countries. Directed by the talented Brett Wagner in 2016.
