Firing of the kiln

The firing started at 5pm in the evening and was done the next day at 6pm. We stoked a lot of wood.IMG_2581
Here we stoke wood in the firebox from Kusakabe-san’s old house!

Finally, we add wood through the stoke holes for ash build-up and effects.
Unfortunately, I can not be there when they open the kiln, but I will post results as soon as I get some pictures.
