       HIMOZUKURI (Making it with Strings Made of Clay)
       HIMOZUKURI is one of techniques, which had been used since the
       initial period of potteries, piling up strings made of clay.
       This technique is the oldest. It is the traditional technique
       and which is still alive even now, with which you can make
       something smaller like a bowl to bigger like a big pot exceeding
       2 meters, no matter is the shape like a flame-shaped earthen
       vessel or a Haniwa.
       Briefly, you prepare some clay as much as you can grip in hand,
       and go on extending it kneading by palms. Then you just
       ring-stack one by one and finally smooth the linkage. That's it.
       Learning how to make strings, you may be able to make any type
       of potteries. Only trouble is that the works can't be done as
       quickly as that done by a potter's wheel. The work stacking
       layer by layer is time-consuming, and if you are irritated, it
       causes differences in level or gaps and then this will cause
       cracks and tears.
       If you don't worry about the productivity and make it step by
       step carefully enough, HIMOZUKURI may be the best technique for
       you.
