Yoshimi Hayashi moved to the United States from Japan when he was a child. As a teen, he returned to Japan to study ceramics and apprenticed with world-class ceramic sculptor Hiroshi Ikehata. 鈥淚 had to learn all the basics all over again,鈥� says Yoshimi. 鈥淚t was a great experience learning with such a tremendous potter and contemporary sculptor. To this day, I still use those skills I learned in Japan.鈥�
