Bernard Leach

John writes that his parents will be hosting Japanese friends in the U.K. this coming autumn.

"They've expressed the wish to visit Bernard Leach's pottery and home in Cornwall. How can I get information?"

The English potter Bernard Leach spent many years in Japan. As a leading member of the important "mingei" or folkloric movement in the early 20th century, he is regarded as a near god in Japanese ceramic circles. Exhibitions showing his work always draw large crowds.
