    Let's jump inside and take a look!
SIGN    Loop tool
SIGN    Wooden throwing rib
[01:06] Nar
    "Pottery equipment" is easy to say,
    but there are so many different tools.
[01:10] Nar
    There is the loop tool for shaving,
[01:13] Nar
    or the wooden throwing rib,
    used for evening out the clay.
[01:16] Nar
    And there are many more!
[01:18] hon
    There's so many.
[01:20] wak
    Yeah, there are.
[01:21] wak
    These almost look like tools
    you use for making sweets.

    Honizumi Rina
[01:24] guy
    That's actually a good point.
[01:24] tan
    You're right!
[01:25] ser
    I see, I see.
[01:27] wak
    What is this used for?
[01:28] ser
    It looks like a staff.
[01:29] wak
    It looks like the thing for
    relieving shoulder tension.
[01:32] wak
    Look, you use it like this and perfectly
    reaches that spot you need, like this.
[01:37] wak
    It looks like it would work, no?
[01:38] ser
    So what is this, really?
[01:39] Guy
    What do you think it's used for?
SIGN    Voice of Ceramics
    Tanaka Tarou-san
[01:42] hon
    We're being quizzed!
[01:43] ser
    I got it, I got it.
[01:46] ser
    I love you.
[01:48] wak
    You made it a heart.
[01:50] hon
    He's laughing!
[01:51] guy
    That's really clever.
[01:53] ser
    Tanaka-san, I love you.
[01:56] Guy
    That's not it.
[01:58] wak
    He shot you down so cleanly!
[01:59] hon
    That's not it!
[02:00] wak
    This is hard.
[02:01] hon
    Oh, could this be used to even out
    the curves at the bottom of a pot?
[02:06] Guy
    That's right.
[02:07] Guy
    That's the correct answer.
[02:10] Guy
    You use it for bigger vases or pots,
[02:12] Guy
    to get to the places where your
    hand can't reach anymore.
SIGN    Throwing stick (large): 1,166 Yen
    Used to straighten places inside
    where the hand can't reach
[02:16] Guy
    You hold that stick in place and use
    it to shape the inside like so.
[02:18] tan
    Oh, like this!
[02:20] tan
    So you don't use your hand!
[02:22] nar
    The next tool that caught
    our attention is this.
[02:25] nar
    What is this?
[02:27] hon
    So, it says "turning tool,"
[02:29] hon
    but it looks like it's for shaving material off.
[02:30] Guy
    That's right.
[02:32] hon
    I'm curious how you use this for pottery.
[02:35] Guy
    That tool shakes while you shave clay off.
[02:38] ser
    And that's helpful?
[02:40] Guy
    That's right.
[02:40] wak
    So when you're making a
    wave shape, you go like this?
[02:47] Guy
    Not really.
[02:48] wak
    No?
[02:49] wak
    Would you please reveal the answer, then?
[02:50] guy
    For the correct answer,
[02:51] guy
    there's something right there,
    demonstrating what that tool can do.
[02:54] wak
    It makes etchings like this?
[02:55] guy
    Yes, if you want these fine lines.
[02:56] tan
    And that's how you get this pattern!
[02:57] ser
    Because it shakes?
[02:58] guy
    Exactly.
[02:59] wak
    So it goes like, takakaka.
[03:01] guy
    That's right.
[03:02] guy
    These markings are called chatter marks.
SIGN    Chatter marking tool (Tobi-kanna) 990 Yen
    The tool creates a repeating pattern as it bounces
[03:05] guy
    Since the tool jumps the
    moment it makes contact,
[03:08] guy
    you naturally end up with
    these dotted marks.
[03:09] tan
    Amazing!
[03:10] hon
    So you keep your hand steady?
[03:11] Guy
    That's right.
[03:11] hon
    And the pattern just makes itself.
[03:14] wak
    What's this? This is a clothes' pin, right?
[03:16] Guy
    That is actually not used for decoration.
[03:18] tan
    It's not?
[03:19] ser
    Not?
[03:20] tan
    You could clamp something into it?
[03:21] wak
    It says "outside calipers"
    here. Outside calipers.
[03:23] wak
    What does that mean? Brace
    like this from the outside?
[03:26] tan
    Like this?
[03:28] wak
    I was trying to picture it.
[03:30] tan
    Become the tool!
[03:32] guy
    Your form is good, but rather
    than bracing something,
[03:37] guy
    it's for measuring the size.
[03:39] hon
    For measuring!
SIGN    Outside Calipers (Medium) 825 Yen
    Used to make uniformly sized pieces.
[03:42] hon
    Oh, so you use it to make multiple
    pieces of the same size?
[03:43] Guy
    That's right.
[03:45] tan
    I see.
[03:47] wak
    I get it!
[03:48] Nar
    Among the many tools here, I've also
    managed to find something intriguing.
[03:54] hon
    That's...
[03:55] wak
    That's scary! Be careful!
[03:58] ser
    This is so intriguing, though!
[04:00] ser
    I mean look at it from here!
[04:03] ser
    Just these two are menacing.
[04:05] hon
    Yeah.
[04:06] wak
    It's for operating.
[04:07] hon
    Right?
[04:08] wak
    It's for operating.
[04:09] ser
    This the part you poke someone's bum with?
[04:11] tan
    Ouch, ouch!
[04:13] wak
    Or maybe to give someone a piercing?
[04:15] tan
    Oh, piercing!
[04:16] ser
    Yuuki-chan, come here.
[04:18] wak
    That would make a big hole.
[04:20] ser
    So is it used for poking holes?
[04:20] ser
    No, wait... Is it for grabbing something?
[04:23] Guy
    Correct.
[04:23] ser
    So it's for grabbing.
[04:25] ser
    Oh, me!
[04:27] ser
    You use it to grab newly fired plates!
[04:28] Guy
    Nope.
[04:29] wak
    I thought that, too.
[04:30] hon
    Me, too.
[04:31] ser
    Makes sense, right?
[04:32] Guy
    What kind of section is this here?
[04:34] hon
    Colors?
[04:35] ser
    Dripping things!
[04:37] hon
    Dripping wet?
[04:38] ser
    Dripping wet!
[04:39] tan
    Oh, I get it!
[04:40] hon
    You use it for items that are not dry yet?
[04:43] Guy
    Not dry... That's really close.
[04:44] ser
    I was close.
[04:46] guy
    Really close.
[04:46] hon
    Then that's not it?
[04:47] Guy
    It's for plates and things—
[04:48] hon
    You clamp it in and—
[04:49] guy
    and then you dunk it into
    a bucket or something.
[04:52] wak
    Oh, so you can dunk it in with this.
SIGN    Dipping tongs for plates: 4,620 Yen
    Used to apply glaze on a plate without getting finger marks on it
[04:53] Guy
    Right.
[04:55] hon
    I see.
[04:56] Guy
    If you held the pieces when you dunked them,
[04:59] Guy
    your fingers would leave marks behind.
[05:02] Guy
    These dipping tongs prevent that from happening.
[05:03] tan
    Dipping tongs.
[05:06] wak
    I've literally never seen
    any of this before.
[05:08] guy
    But if you're not a potter, none of
    these would be relevant for you.
[05:08] tan
    You're so right.
[05:11] wak
    It's fun here, though.
[05:13] hon
    Yeah.
[05:14] ser
    It is fun!
SIGN    Sketching our pieces
[05:16] Nar
    And now, we're finally
    ready to start our pieces.
[05:19] Nar
    What are we going to make?
[05:20] Nar
    Time to start sketching!
[05:22] hon
    So do you all already have a rough
    idea of what you want to make?
[05:27] tan
    Yeah.
[05:27] wak
    A rough idea.
[05:28] ser
    In season 1, they already asked
    us like a million times.
[05:32] wak
    Yeah, it was like a million times.
[05:33] tan
    That did happen.
[05:35] wak
    "You can make whatever you
    want," is the hardest.
[05:38] hon
    Freedom makes it so hard.
[05:40] tan
    That's why Himeno, well I am Himeno,
    but she would have trouble deciding.
[05:45] tan
    I'm done.
[05:46] All
    What? That was fast.
[05:48] hon
    Wait, that's super adorable!
[05:50] tan
    Tada!
SIGN    Sphinx dog Chopstick holder
[05:51] tan
    This is a chopstick holder modeled
    after my parents' dachshund.
[05:56] wak
    A chopstick holder!
[05:57] hon
    Chopstick holder is good!
[05:58] tan
    Yeah, I've been wanting
    to make one of these.
[06:02] ser
    Does anyone have a good idea?
[06:06] ser
    I'm not meaning to steal it.
[06:08] wak
    You're totally going to steal it.
[06:10] Guy
    The best works usually happen when people
    make a piece about something they like.
[06:15] ser
    Something I like...
[06:18] wak
    Yeah, something I like, huh?
[06:20] wak
    What would that be?
[06:22] Nar
    I've always been the type who gets
    tripped up by something like this!
[06:29] tan
    Wow! That's really artistic!
[06:32] hon
    I managed to put something together.
[06:35] hon
    Tada!
[06:36] wak
    Whoa, what is that?
[06:38] wak
    Hon-chan, you're too good!
[06:40] hon
    I wanted to make something branch-y.
[06:44] hon
    I like dried branches and stuff, so...
[06:46] tan
    Oh, yeah!
[06:48] ser
    Those decorative ones.
[06:48] hon
    That's why I thought putting something
    like this out could be really decorative.
[06:54] tan
    What do you think?
[06:55] Guy
    That looks... difficult.
[06:57] tan
    That's difficult?
[06:58] hon
    Would it be too difficult?
[06:59] Guy
    The bottom bun looking part looks fine.
[07:02] Guy
    But I'm not sure how well the
    upper branch part would hold up.
[07:04] ser
    They could collapse under their own weight?
[07:05] guy
    Right.
[07:07] wak
    I finished mine.
[07:10] hon
    What should I do?
[07:11] hon
    Oh, Wakacchi, you're done?
[07:12] wak
    I'm done.
[07:13] wak
    Since I'm such a coffee freak, I thought
    I could make a coffee-bean canister.
[07:16] hon
    That's cute!
[07:18] wak
    And to make it more mine, I wanted to add
    actual coffee beans after it's done.
[07:23] hon
    That's cute!
[07:24] ser
    What about making a set?
[07:25] ser
    A sugar bowl, a milk thing, all of that?
[07:30] wak
    I'll make 'em all!
[07:34] hon
    A set is good.
[07:35] wak
    I'm going to do that!
[07:36] tan
    That sounds good!
[07:36] wak
    I'll do it!
[07:37] tan
    Super psyched here!
[07:38] hon
    I can feel your energy bubbling! I like it!
[07:42] wak
    I do want to make many things.
[07:43] hon
    Excuse me. Would this also be difficult?
[07:45] ser
    That sketch is really good!
[07:46] ser
    How are you so good?
[07:48] hon
    Would this be difficult, too?
[07:50] Guy
    Your drawings are really good.
[07:53] hon
    Is it better than before...
[07:54] Guy
    It certainly is.
[07:55] hon
    Does it look doable?
[07:57] hon
    Then I've got mine.
[07:58] hon
    I'm set.
[07:59] All
    Wow.
[08:00] All
    Yeah.
[08:02] Guy
    If you do more than that,
    it'll take a lot of time.
[08:06] ser
    The muse visited me!
[08:08] ser
    The muse came to me!
[08:09] wak
    You're just like Mika.
[08:13] Nar
    And just like Mika, inspiration
    hit me out of the blue!
[08:17] Nar
    This face is pretty good, don't you think?
[08:22] wak
    Are those... feet?
[08:24] wak
    Oh, that's stylish, so stylish!
[08:26] tan
    Wow!
[08:26] ser
    It's a butt and legs.
[08:28] hon
    That's a really fresh idea!
[08:30] ser
    Isn't it cute?
[08:31] tan
    So cool.
[08:32] ser
    The butt... inspiration descended at last.
[08:37] wak
    I like it.
