I work with vermilion clay, rich in iron and used for Tokoname ware, and by changing the amount of ingredients mixed into the clay I create a profound depth on the work surface. For shaping I mainly use the pottery wheel and finish works so as to leave a touch of the wheel. When firing, I create reddish brown earthenware with oxidized firing, and I also use reduced firing to make teapots with the mogake technique (wrapping the clay teapot with algae). I also create ceramics with carbonized black, or with two colors, black and red, which spontaneously fuse during firing.
