Music and making

摘要

Akira Satake came to be a potter through a series of propitious happenings. He was a musician in Osaka, Japan, while he was at high school through to his early 20s. His instrument was the banjo and his preferred music was traditional American bluegrass. Deciding that a secure future playing a banjo was probably out of reach, he moved to photography. Then in 1981, aged 23, he decided he would take his banjo and camera to America and travel across the country.
