About the Artwork

I use white porcelain clay on a potter's wheel to shape my work. I have never changed this method since I began making white porcelain works.
making, I have long harbored a desire to create my own unique forms, and that journey continues to date.
The motivation behind pursuing this desire is the beautiful shading which appears on the surface of these white vessels. The shading adds nuances to even simple forms, perpetually inspiring my imagination. I'm still trying to achieve white porcelain works with such nuances.

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.
