This translates roughly to:"The Way of the Cat Warrior's Kiln"or"Firing Path of the Cat Warrior"
Throwing the Vessel – Our samurai cat shapes clay with reverence, paw-pressing the spinning form on the potter’s wheel.
Firing the Vessel – He stokes the glowing anagama kiln, heat and smoke rising into the forested hillside.
Presenting the Vessel – Now, he kneels with calm intensity, cradling the finished piece with gloved paws or bare white ones, inspecting its glaze, balance, and spirit.
