The Order in Which Clay Wakes

The Order in Which Clay Wakes

In the dim dawn, a single drop of water lands with a "plop" on the lump of clay on the wheel, and the clay slowly rises into a cylinder. Open the glass door of the corner studio at the end of the alley lined with persimmon trees, and a bell made of clay chimes "tok, toror"; bowls dry on the shelves in the window light, and the only sound is the wheel. If it's your first time, press the clay down firmly first, keep the wheel slow, and even if it leans a little, it's still your bowl — after the kiln's night, in the morning light, the thumbprint first pressed into the side of the celadon cup is still there.
