3 out of 5 stars needs more variety   August 29, 2007
A more appropriate title for this book might be: "Wood-firing by Marc Lancet and Masakazu Kusakabe" as it is mainly about them. Although it is thorough and informative, I was disappointed to see the narrow spectrum of artists represented in it.


4 out of 5 stars Great Book!!!   February 12, 2007

This book covers most everything I wanted to know about Japanese Wood-Fired Ceramics. The only area I wish it had was more pictures of finished pieces. Technique and building kilns it covered thoroughly.


4 out of 5 stars Useful and for the advanced   January 12, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I found this book a useful tool in thinking about the way I woodfire. If a person is not a woodfire potter or avid collector of woodfired work it may not be for you. The is definately not a casual read.


5 out of 5 stars A Must for Wood-fire Enthusiasts   January 9, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

First saw this book at the wood-fire conference held in Flagstaff, AZ in Oct,2006. The coauthor Marc Lancet delivered an address that was drawn in large measure from the book. After Jack Troy's classic on wood-fire this book sets a new standard. The wide variety of wood-fire surface effects are connected to the japanese names for those effects and what causes them. The sections covering plans for wood-fire kilns is excellent.


5 out of 5 stars Great Experience   June 23, 2006
 4 out of 7 found this review helpful

The visuals are amazing,from the finished work to the building of a kiln. It was picticularly helpful in deciding on what pieces of art work to put into a firing. The information on the hard work and the gradifacation that inspirers woodfire, helped me perpar for being part of an astonishing process.
