		The selection of Arita, the production center of Arita and Imari ware, is apt because the musical tells the story of the wife of a Korean potter in Arita who became the progenitor of the modern Japanese ceramics industry.
		The protagonist was modeled on the wife of Lee Sampyung, brought from Korea to Arita about 400 years ago by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
		The plot focuses on the cultural conflicts she faces in Japan, such as whether to hold a Korean or a Japanese funeral for her husband, and the differences of opinions she has with her Japanese-born son.
