Celadon
Celadon (seiji) is a light blue-green pottery, usually porcelain or stoneware, produced by reduction firing a transparent glaze containing iron oxide. By restricting or eliminating the supply of oxygen to the kiln, the reduction firing process causes the iron in the glaze to turn bluish-green.
Zenzo Fukushima
I make my pottery using porcelain clay from Koishiwara (also known as Nakano), iron ore, wood ashes, straw ashes, and feldspar. I do the whole process on my own from preparing the clay to baking.
