About the Artwork
This piece was first wheel-thrown using Daido clay, then layered with Mishima clay slip, and finally finished with multiple applications of white slip using a brush.
The three layers of clay respond to one another through the firing process, revealing a rich variety of expressions from the underlying Daido clay.
The taut, elongated form further accentuates the dynamic movement of the brushwork.

Techniques Used
Hagi ware
Hagi ware is a type of pottery predominantly made around the cities of Hagi, Nagato, and Yamaguchi in Yamaguchi prefecture. Vessels are made with Daido clay, Mitake clay, and Mishima clay. The resulting stoneware is rarely decorated with motifs, as the texture and qualities of the clay are key points of visual interest that appeal to tea ceremony practitioners.
