***SIGN*** Narration: Honizumi Rina

**[00:48] tan**
We've changed outfits!
**[00:50] wom**
So cute.
**[00:51] wom**
These are so cute!
**[00:52] hon**
Should we be saying that ourselves?
**[00:54] tan**
Our own styles.
**[00:55] wom**
All these colors.
**[00:56] wom**
Yeah! We're so colorful!
**[00:58] wom**
I like that we have different colors.
**[00:59] wom**
Yeah huh?
**[01:00] wak**
We've done some pottery already
so now we're psyched up.
**[01:04] wom**
This time it's more serious than before.
**[01:06] wom**
True.
**[01:07] wom**
That's why we're psyched.
**[01:09] ser**
Work clothes also get you in that mode, huh?
**[01:11] wom**
Yeah, true.
**[01:13] wak**
We did come here to try pottery again.
**[01:17] tan**
Let's go in, then.
**[01:17] wom**
Let's go!
**[01:17] hon**
I'm going to try hard.
**[01:22] nar**
* We're at the Voice Workshop again where*
* we made cups on the pottery wheel.*
***SIGN*** Azuchi Momoyama Tojinosato Voice Workshop
***SIGN*** Hand-building
***SIGN*** You make things by shaping the clay on the table. There are
no restrictions on the shape, so you can make whatever you like.
**[01:26] nar**
* Today we're going to use a technique*
* called hand-building to make plates!*
**[01:31] tea**
I'll start off by showing you how it's done.
**[01:35] wom**
Wow!
**[01:37] wom**
That's... cute!
**[01:38] wom**
It takes me back to when I was little.
**[01:39] wom**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Voice Workshop
***SIGN*** Yamaura Toshimi-san
***SIGN*** Pound the clay to spread it out
**[01:41] nar**
*After you give the clay a generous pounding,*
***SIGN*** Use a rolling pin to stretch it further
**[01:45] nar**
* you use a rolling pin to further*
* stretch it out to an even height.*
**[01:48] nar**
*Then you cut out any shape you like.*
***SIGN*** Cut out the shape you like
**[01:49] tea**
So you just cut away the
part you don't need.
**[01:52] all**
Ah-ha.
***SIGN*** Stretch out some clay into a coil shape
Score the clay acting as the base
**[01:54] nar**
* After you stretch out some*
* clay into a coil shape,*
**[01:57] nar**
*you score the clay that will be the base.*
**[01:57] tea**
I'm just making these marks.
**[02:00] wak**
That's like apple pie.
**[02:00] ser**
Like pie dough.
**[02:01] wak**
Yeah!
**[02:02] wom**
Just like pie dough!
**[02:04] ser**
It's looking like a pie.
**[02:05] wom**
Right.
**[02:05] tea**
By scoring the clay, the pieces
will stick together securely.
**[02:11] ser**
This reminds me of making tarts.
**[02:13] waK**
Yeah, Minami, you are
probably good at that.
**[02:14] tan**
Really?
**[02:15] wak**
You look like you're good at making sweets.
**[02:17] tea**
When you're connecting the pieces,
you use this mud, or slip.
***SIGN*** Apply slip on the scored areas as an adhesive
**[02:21] tea**
I'm applying it on the rim.
**[02:21] wom**
Slip...
**[02:26] wak**
That's like making potstickers.
**[02:29] wom**
Food again!
**[02:30] wak**
Why do we always think of food?!
**[02:32] wom**
Seriously!
**[02:32] wom**
Are we that hungry? Or what?
**[02:35] wom**
Wow!
***SIGN*** Add height by stacking up coils of clay
**[02:36] nar**
* Repeat the process of adding*
* clay to the foundation*
**[02:40] nar**
*until you reach your desired height.*
**[02:45] wak**
Am I the only one who
thinks that looks tasty?
**[02:48] wom**
Like a tart?
**[02:49] wak**
It looks so good.
**[02:52] hon**
It makes you want to put fruit on.
***SIGN*** Begin plate making
**[02:55] nar**
*We will be making plates for eating curry.*
**[02:59] nar**
* We actually made plans to*
* all make curry together!*
**[03:02] wom**
It's a good stress relief.
***SIGN*** Pound the clay to spread it out
**[03:05] wom**
This hurts!
**[03:07] wom**
This is hard!
**[03:09] wom**
This much?
**[03:11] Wom**
Ouch!
**[03:12] hon**
It's fun!
**[03:14] tan**
Yeah, it's fun.
**[03:16] wak**
Yes, but it hurts.
**[03:18] wom**
You kinda get attached to this clay huh?
**[03:20] ser**
I'm not good at physical labor.
***SIGN*** Use a rolling pin to stretch it further
**[03:24] nar**
* Next, we use a rolling pin*
* to really stretch it out.*
**[03:29] wom**
In the beginning you need quite a lot of—
**[03:30] wom**
Oh, it's stretching!
**[03:31] wom**
—power.
**[03:34] ser**
Yuki, you're short even when you stand up.
**[03:36] waK**
This is standing, this is sitting.
**[03:37] wom**
There!
**[03:38] wom**
I think this is pretty good if I flip it.
**[03:40] wom**
But it's 7 mm, right?
**[03:41] tea**
First you go side to side.
**[03:42] wom**
Then up and down, right?
**[03:45] wom**
This is so fun!
**[03:46] hon**
It feels really nice when it stretches out.
**[03:47] wak**
This is getting the tension
out of my arms, so nice.
**[03:50] tan**
This like an arm massage, and it feels good.
**[03:56] wom**
This feels good!
**[03:59] nar**
* Next, we have to decide the*
* shape of the plates.*
***SIGN*** Cut out the shape you want for your plate
**[04:03] nar**
*This was the toughest part!*
**[04:06] wom**
This is crucial.
**[04:07] wom**
Wait, really?
**[04:08] tan**
Yeah, it really is.
**[04:09] wak**
What should I do... maybe a heart?
**[04:11] all**
Cute!
**[04:14] ser**
Too cute!
**[04:16] ser**
Really, a heart?
**[04:18] ser**
Then maybe I'll go for a star!
**[04:19] all**
A star?! A star!
**[04:20] hon**
That would be so much work!
**[04:22] hon**
What should I do?
**[04:23] hon**
Maybe I'll just do an ellipse, like this.
**[04:29] tan**
That's a really nice ellipse already!
**[04:32] wak**
Like, that's good enough.
**[04:33] wom**
Yeah, just fire it like that.
**[04:37] wom**
I see.
**[04:38] ser**
A cute cat.
**[04:40] wak**
That's super cute.
**[04:41] wak**
Like a kid's plate.
**[04:43] ser**
Mom, I want curry!
**[04:44] ser**
That has to go on a kid plate.
**[04:47] wak**
And you need a flag in the rice.
**[04:48] wak**
We've all got our own thing going, huh?
**[04:50] tan**
I'm doing a diamond shape.
**[04:52] wak**
Diamond.
**[04:52] hon**
Diamond shape, that's fancy!
**[04:54] wom**
That's really pretty!
**[04:55] wom**
There aren't that many
plates with that shape.
***SIGN*** Stack up coils of clay
**[04:59] nar**
*The next step is to stack up coils of clay!*
**[05:03] tea**
Do it in a rolling motion.
**[05:04] ser**
Rolling motion.
**[05:06] ser**
This is fun!
**[05:07] tan**
This is like making candy.
**[05:09] wom**
Oh, yeah!
**[05:10] wom**
Like Kintaro candy.
**[05:11] wom**
Kintaro candy!
**[05:12] wom**
Kintaro candy.
**[05:13] ser**
This feels so good!
**[05:15] ser**
It's really nice!
**[05:17] ser**
You should hurry up so you
can get to touching this.
**[05:18] wom**
You're one step ahead of us.
**[05:20] ser**
This feels so good!
**[05:22] hon**
It's a bit of a battle against time.
**[05:23] wom**
Oh right.
**[05:24] tan**
Yeah since I'm taking my time,
it's starting to dry out!
**[05:27] hon**
It's starting to get dry.
**[05:28] tan**
Crap.
**[05:29] hon**
Oh, crap!
**[05:35] wom**
We're all so serious.
**[05:38] wak**
I'll put this inside.
**[05:40] wom**
You're right it doesn't go
so well when it's hard.
**[05:48] wom**
Oh, no. We shouldn't have been chatting so much!
**[05:51] tan**
The panic is setting in!
**[05:53] wak**
What are you doing? The camera?
**[05:55] ser**
The camera was there, so I had to.
**[05:57] ser**
Can't forget to be appealing for the camera.
**[05:59] wak**
That's very important.
**[06:01] tan**
This is fun.
**[06:03] hon**
I don't know how to put it, but
because you're touching it a lot,
**[06:07] tan**
Yeah.
**[06:07] hon**
it just feels so...
**[06:08] wak**
It literally feels handmade.
**[06:10] hon**
Right, so different from the pottery wheel.
**[06:12] ser**
That's true.
**[06:13] ser**
I feel like I did a lot with clay
during free experimentation time.
**[06:16] hon**
Oh, yeah. Free experimentation.
**[06:16] wom**
Right, those free hours!
**[06:18] hon**
That brings back memories,
free experimentation.
**[06:18] ser**
What was that stuff that hardened?
**[06:21] ser**
Oh, papier mâché!
**[06:21] wom**
We used that!
**[06:23] tan**
Papier mâché!
**[06:25] wak**
Papier mâché!
**[06:25] wak**
Papier mâché!
**[06:26] tan**
We painted those, too.
**[06:28] hon**
Yeah, we colored them and dried them.
**[06:29] tan**
You could do a lot with that.
**[06:30] hon**
Exactly.
**[06:32] wak**
Free experimentation, huh?
**[06:33] wak**
Is that the same as treasure making?
**[06:35] wom**
Treasure making?
**[06:37] ser**
What is treasure making?!
**[06:38] wak**
For people in Gifu, it's treasure making.
**[06:40] wom**
Whoa, what?
**[06:40] wom**
Wait, what is that?
**[06:42] wak**
You're talking about making treasures
during summer break, right?
**[06:43] ser**
What?! We didn't do that!
**[06:47] hon**
Wait, I never heard of that.
**[06:49] ser**
Did you make treasures every year?
**[06:50] wak**
Yeah.
**[06:52] tan**
Hello, that's so wonderful?
**[06:54] tan**
It was.
**[06:54] tan**
Treasure making during summer break.
**[06:58] ser**
If I had a daughter,
I'd want her to go there.
**[07:01] ser**
That's way too precious.
**[07:02] wom**
Yeah, it is!
**[07:04] nar**
* In the end, we use small pieces*
* of clay or stamps to decorate!*
***SIGN*** Finish it off with decorations
**[07:08] ser**
My idea is to add the
whiskers inside the plate.
**[07:12] wom**
There.
**[07:12] wom**
You're already there? You're so fast.
**[07:16] wom**
Wow, cute! Really cute!
**[07:17] wom**
Cute!
**[07:19] hon**
I hope this turns out.
**[07:21] hon**
This is hard.
**[07:23] ser**
That's really cute.
**[07:25] wom**
Looking good.
**[07:26] wom**
Really lovely.
**[07:26] ser**
You can really feel the love of the maker.
**[07:30] wom**
Yeah you can feel that.
**[07:31] wak**
It'll make you feel good about
having finished your plate.
**[07:35] wom**
Oh, that's a good point.
**[07:35] hon**
This is amazing.
**[07:36] all**
Our personalities are really showing here.
**[07:40] ser**
What are your thoughts?
**[07:43] wak**
Since I only had the pottery
wheel image in my head,
**[07:47] wak**
when I heard pottery, you know?
This kind of plate—
**[07:50] wak**
or that plates are made
this way— was interesting.
**[07:53] tan**
It was just like how it was
to play with clay as a kid.
**[07:58] wom**
Brought back memories huh?
**[07:58] tan**
Yeah exactly.
**[08:00] wom**
Totally.
**[08:02] hon**
There must be still a ton of techniques
we haven't even seen yet.
**[08:06] hon**
Yeah, there is still so
much we don't know yet!
**[08:07] wom**
That makes sense.
**[08:09] hon**
I think the more I learn,
the more I'd want to learn,
**[08:13] hon**
the more I'd want to try.
**[08:14] tan**
I want to grow... through pottery.
**[08:16] wak**
Yes! I want to grow too!
**[08:17] wak**
I want to get better at this too!
**[08:20] wak**
I'll need to try hard to be the
best pottery voice actress.
**[08:24] hon**
Oh, nice!
**[08:24] tan**
That sounds cool!
**[08:26] ser**
I've never heard of that combo.
**[08:27] hon**
You'd be the person in the
industry for collabs.
**[08:30] wak**
Let's go for that, pottery voice actresses.
**[08:32] wak**
That's what I want to be.
**[08:34] nar**
* Our first attempt at hand-building*
* right in Tajimi!*
**[08:38] nar**
*But it's not over yet!*
***SIGN*** Serizawa Yū's work
***SIGN*** Wakai Yūki's work
***SIGN*** Tanaka Minami's work
***SIGN*** Honizumi Rina's work
**[08:42] nar**
*What colors should use to paint these?*
***SIGN*** Next time: Let's change into yukatas and fully enjoy Tajimi's summer
**[08:47] nar**
* Next time we change into yukatas*
* and get into the summer spirit.*
**[08:49] ser**
Cute!
**[08:52] nar**
*We're going to fully enjoy Tajimi's summer!*
**[08:54] hon**
It's getting bigger.
**[08:56] tan**
It's sparkling!
**[08:57] wak**
Oh yeah, it's sparkling.
**[08:58] wak**
Wow!
