  • “[This book] is a guide through a 5,000-year-old craft that encourages his reader to think critically about the moment in which she enters the ceramics ecosystem, and all the moments before and after.”
    - Sarah Montonchaikul Sculpture and Artifact Conservator
  • “Ceramic objects are created with the direct touch of the earth by the hand and then solidified by fire, embodying a truly collaborative effort between humans and nature. Yasumitsu Morito, who hails from Mashiko, which is best known as a kiln town in Japan, and one of the centers of the Mingei movement, has devoted his career as both an artist and educator. Through his extensive knowledge of ceramic methodologies and touching upon his own artistic concepts and forms, Morito escorts us through the world of ceramic arts in his first book, 'A Holistic Approach to Ceramic Sculpture: Its History, Theory and Materiality' by providing us with a historical survey and a discussion of traditional techniques and contemporary innovations in the medium.”
    - Yukie Kamiya Art Critic and Former Gallery Directory, Japan Society, New York
  • “The images and clear diagrams and terminology make this book interesting to everyone – from those with a general interest in the arts, to beginning ceramists, to professional artists.”
    - Elizabeth Helm Librarian, National Sculpture Society
