Expression by overglaze enamels on ceramics is characteristic of my works. In this technique, porcelain clay is first formed, and after second-stage firing without applying glaze, patterns are drawn using overglaze enamels, overglaze gold and silver and then fired; this process is repeated many times to finish a work.
