Techniques Used
Marbleized clay
Marbleized clay (neriage) ceramics are made by layering or combining different colors of clay. A wide variety of patterns can be produced depending on how the clays are combined, with the cross-sections of the finished pattern appearing on the surface of the piece.
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.
