Bernard Leach (1887-1979) was as renowned in Japan and the East as in Europe and America,both as an artist-craftsman and as a thinker.

His interpretation of the traditions of the Orientin the making of pots - and in evolving a philosophy of life - was a lodestar for many potters inthe West.

Beyond East and West, first published in 1978, is more than an autobiography.

Its recurrent theme is the meeting of East andWest at all levels - artistic, cultural, social, political.
