About the Artwork

Flowing white glaze is an original glaze that I made inspired by the glaze of an old pottery piece. Applying layers of ash glaze on the white glaze for Hagi ware creates a unique, deep colored glaze.

For my artwork using flowing white glaze, I made simple forms to create a dignified sense of tension.

Techniques Used

Hagi ware

Hagi ware is a type of pottery predominantly made around the cities of Hagi, Nagato, and Yamaguchi in Yamaguchi prefecture. Vessels are made with Daido clay, Mitake clay, and Mishima clay. The resulting stoneware is rarely decorated with motifs, as the texture and qualities of the clay are key points of visual interest that appeal to tea ceremony practitioners.
