About the Artwork
I made this piece so that it can be used not only in a traditional Japanese room, but also in a western style living room or in a room with a wooden floor to serve guests. It is about 30 cm high; just the right size for a woman to easily use on the table. The mouth of the tea kettle is the same diameter as the body, so maintenance is also easy.

Techniques Used
Clay mold casting
In clay mold casting (sōgata), a symmetrical mold is produced by rotating a template called a strickle board in a mixture of sand and clay to shape the walls of the mold. Clay mold casting is predominantly used to produce tea ceremony kettles and temple bells. After the piece is removed from the mold, it is heated and painted with lacquer (urushi) or a solution of iron, vinegar, and alcohol known as ohaguro (“teeth blackening liquid”) to produce a unique, dark finish.
