About the Artwork
I decorate my artwork with overglaze paintings, unique to Kutani ware, of flowers and fruit with small birds. I think of my designs of flowers and fruit from my sketches. While considering the amount of the white parts, I arranged the layout of the ripe red fruit split in half and the shrike. Pomegranate is considered to be auspicious as it is packed with fruit.

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).
