"Bringing colors to everyday life."
I use the "iroe" (multicolored overglaze) technique, a style of painting that uses colors to express the rich, deep tones and textures like impressionist paintings. This was cultivated during my five-year apprenticeship, when I came into contact with and learned the nunome (cloth pattern) technique from my master, who emphasized the importance of texture. In order to enhance this technique, I am also studying how to express texture by experimenting with color combinations and variations in shading. It is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process that requires a lot of patience, but I am polishing my skills by researching my own unique "iroe", to express more elegance and dignity. I hope that you will enjoy the "color" expressed through ceramics in your daily life.
