About the Artwork
I made this with the image of "yukitsuri", ropes set to protect trees from the snow, that can be seen in winter in Ishikawa.
I took on a challenging task that required much patience to finely cut and apply silver foil on the vessel.

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).
