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.
Gold decoration
Gold decoration is a technique where decorations using gold pigment and gold leaf are applied onto a plain unglazed base or glazed surface of a vessel and are fired onto the vessel in a kiln. The gold decorations are fired at a temperature lower than the firing of the underglaze decorations, and the surface is polished to create a glossy finish.
