Sasukenei: dancing with fire (2024)
Sasukenei, in the Fukushima dialect of Japanese, can be translated as “all right, peaceful.” This was the name given by its creator, Kusakabe Masakazu sensei (in memoriam), to the wood-fired ceramic kiln depicted in this documentary. The film, recorded during the tenth firing of the kiln in the spring of 2023 at the Cultural Institute of Ceramics in Cunha (ICCC)- SP, seeks to tell its story and capture perspectives from ceramicists and scholars of different generations about the challenges and unifying capacity present in the wood-firing technique.
