Kenichi Sajiki PhD is a staff scientist researching cell biology in the G0 Cell Unit at OIST. His research interest is understanding the regulation mechanism of how cells decide between proliferation and quiescence. Kenichi is also interested in the traditional style of Okinawan pottery called Yachimun. Fascinated by its techniques and culture, he decided to learn the art of pot making from the studio Kitagama in Yomitan. He helped organize the art exhibition “Kitagama x OIST - Tradition and Science” at OIST in 2015. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
