About the Artwork
A wide-mouth flower vase.
I formed clay from Mushiake (Okayama) which frequently becomes a beautiful scarlet color when baked on a potter's wheel. I carved the surface around the middle of the vase and inlayed 5 different strips of clay that come out in different color shades of scarlet.
Above and below the inlays, I lightly applied white ash glaze, and around the rim towards the inside of the mouth, I applied ash glaze from Mushiake.
The scarlet colors like flames, the modern design of the inlayed parts and the soft colors of Mushiake glaze are very eye-catching. It is not too big and can be enjoyed not only as a vase, but also as an interior decoration.

Techniques Used
Inlay ceramics
Inlay (zōgan) ceramics are created by making incisions on the surface of a piece which are then filled with a differently colored clay to create a design. After the clay is inlaid, a glaze is applied and the piece is completed upon firing.
