Making ramen, making pots- potter Ayumi Horie describes the process of designing and pressing ramen bowls, raising questions about the nature of industrial and handmade processes. How does creativity run across disciplines and how can a machine contribute warmth to an object. Ayumi also introduces Menbachi Bozu, Noodle Boy Bowl, a mischievous yōkai specific to the pottery studio, who breaks and warps pots in the middle of the night.
