About the Artwork
Cherry blossom petals covering the surface of the river and drifting downstream have been called hanaikada (flower raft) or sakuragawa (cherry blossom river) since ancient times.
I depicted the scene of cherry blossom petals flowing in light and shadow with silver decoration.

Techniques Used
Overglaze enamel
Overglaze enamel decorations (iro-e, literally “colored pictures”) are achieved by applying designs to the surface of already glazed and fired porcelain. The decorations are painted over the glaze, and the piece is fired again at a low temperature of approximately 800℃. The pigments used in traditional overglaze decorations are known as wa enogu (“Japanese paints”) and offer a palette of colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. Overglaze enameling may also be done with Western pigments (yō enogu).
Silver decoration
Silver decoration is a technique where decorations using silver pigment and silver leaf are applied onto a plain unglazed base or glazed surface of a vessel and are fired onto the vessel in a kiln. The silver decorations are fired at a temperature lower than the firing of the underglaze decorations, and the surface is polished to create a glossy finish.
Ash glaze
Ash glazes (kaiyū) are ceramic glazes made from the ashes of plants, such as wood or straw. Traditionally, these are divided into three categories: pure wood ash, which is made from the bark of trees such as oak and chestnut and has a faintly blue hue; hearth ash, which contains impurities and has a faintly bluish-green hue; and straw ash, which produces a milky-white glaze.
