This is a selection of tokkuri (Japanese Sake bottles) by the kiln ready to be loaded.  The ones on the left were by Fujii Sensei the others by Estelle and me.  The second picture is of the 2nd. stack inside the kiln showing some of the tokkuri placed on the floor of the kiln where they would be covered by the ash and embers from the side stoking port visable at the upper left.
