About the Artwork

"Frozen Water" in the title means the movement of water turning into ice and ice turning into water.
I thought of using the frozen water patterns to take advantage of the characteristics of the porcelain material, and from the thought that I was making my artwork in a snowy area, Hokkaido. In this series, I used icicles as the motif and tried to make a sharper and new form.
Icicles become fatter and longer as water slides down the surface in the cold, and small bumps and dips like bamboo knots are formed. In this piece, I didn't express the melting ice, but used icicles freezing and becoming longer as the motif.

Techniques Used

White porcelain

White porcelain is made from a pale clay of pulverized pottery stone coated in a transparent glaze. Porcelain from China’s Song dynasty is especially famous. Japanese production began in the early seventeenth century in Arita on the island of Kyushu. White porcelain is frequently used as a base for overglaze enamels (iro-e) and blue-and-white (sometsuke) ware.
