Glaze Techniques: "Hotarude"
This series utilizes an intricate technique known as "sukashi-bori" (openwork sculpting), in which small holes are made in the soft clay to create an intricate pattern. The holes are then filled with a transparent glaze and the piece is fired in the kiln. The openwork pattern, which gently glimmers when held up to the light, is called "Hotarude", due to its likeness to the light of a firefly (“Hotaru” in Japanese).
Hotaru Medaka (Firefly Killifish)
Light appears to shine through the transparent body of three carefully engraved ‘medaka’ killifish that grace the porcelain with quintessentially Japanese elegance.
