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.
Jun Nakao
I mainly produce hakuji (white porcelain) and seihakuji (pale blue porcelain). When the round shape turned on the wheel is moderately dry, the surface is scraped off, and then by pressing into the surface with my fingers or by cutting into squares, I give variation to each piece.
