'Imperfect Beauties' - Togei Kyoshitsu, New York City

We meet ceramicist Risa Nishimori at the Togei pottery studio in New York. In this oasis of tranquillity in the middle of a frantic city, Risa creates exquisite ceramic pieces that embrace the beauty of imperfection. Her work reflects the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, finding elegance in the flawed and incomplete. This portrait is captured with quiet sensitivity by filmmaker Laura Esteban.
