The book is about a young Japanese girl who trains as a potter and develops a way of making tea kettles that pour without dribbling. She meets and marries a boy who is also a potter (I think!) but somewhere down the line there are misunderstandings and she has to work out a life (now with a little baby) for herself. The misunderstandings clear up finally and her husband returns to her, but through all of this, she stays true to her sense of who she is.
