Thanks K - you have such a way with words - makes you think about things in a different light.
Your words remind me that bonsai is about art - not about right or wrong.

Yes, thanks K, it's a lovely story but my blood runs cold in sympathy for the slaves who were perhaps tossed into subsequent kilns before the ancient potters twigged to the idea of reduction firing....

My recollection of the stories was that it was pigs that were thrown in, but gruesome none the less.
