Although master ceramicist David Kuraoka lives in San Francisco, he has been named a State Living Treasure in Hawaii, where he was born and returns to several months each year. Kuraoka throws enormous pots weighing 100 pounds and more, a process that requires an extraordinary level of skill, patience and strength.
