What do a poet and a potter have in common? Isn’t the daily task of working with clay, be it plugging, glazing or trimming pots ready to be fired in the kiln much the same as writing zero drafts in a journal and moulding these entries into poetry for publication? After many years of taking notes at Fergus Stewart’s pottery studios, Kathy Kituai and Fergus Stewart, who both endeavour to capture the ordinary moment in their art, came to the conclusion that the main difference between pottery and poetry, was only an extra ‘t’. Deep in the Valley of Tea Bowls, then, sets the process of craft into a fluid dialogue between art forms – pottery and poems – with pleasing and sometimes surprising results. In her sustained collaboration with Scottish ceramicist, Fergus Stewart, Kathy Kituai constructs subtle tanka narratives and scenes where writer and artist work, think and feel, yoked together and apart. Wonderful! – David Gilbey An artist can interact with a material, responding to its signals, improvising, or allowing an idea to develop by reacting as it reveals its twists and turns. A richer blending develops when artists collaborate with each other, the diffusion creating something richer than either had imagined. This book is such a collaboration. – Owen Rye

The Northern Kingdom was not a powerful country, and there weren't many historical records about it. However, in the entire world, it was still the royal family that couldn't be underestimated, after being challenged five or three times by the vassal lords, they finally sent troops to war. And in war, the most miserable people were undoubtedly the commoners at the bottom.

A White Tea Bowl is a selection of 100 haiku written by Mitsu Suzuki, the widow of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, and published in celebration of her 100th birthday. The compelling introduction by Zen priest Norman Fischer describes the profound impact on her life and work of war in Japan and social upheaval in America. Part I: 100 Haiku presents a kaleidoscope of poems by Mitsu Suzuki that touch all aspects of her being: her dedication to the Buddha way, the loneliness of a widow's life, her generational role as "Candy Auntie," her sensitive attunement to nature, and her moments of insight into the dharma. The more you read these haiku, the more their wisdom will emerge. Part II: Pickles and Tea contains reminiscences and anecdotes about Mitsu Suzuki by those who lived and studied with her at the San Francisco Zen Center; often these meetings took place in Mitsu's kitchen where she provided countless cups of tea, cookies, and homemade pickles as well as sage advice.
