About the Artwork

Every year, as I sketch camellias when they are in bloom, I feel many things. There was a day when I felt the flow of time strongly while admiring the camellias and thought, "How could I express this flow of time in my artwork?" This is how this piece was created. I expressed the change from day to night with the white and black leaves, and I wanted those who saw this piece to feel the vitality and liveliness of the blooming camellias.

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).
