Description
He creates works using standard Bizen clay, applying a black clay slip after the pieces have dried.
"Kuro" (black) is made using clay with a high iron content from the Osafune district of Okayama Prefecture.
A small amount of cobalt is added after dissolving the clay in water to create a liquid consistency.
The black clay applied to the work transforms into a beautiful black color when fired.
In areas where Goma (ash glaze) overlaps and fires, it turns a beautiful blue due to the effect of the cobalt.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1936.
He graduated from Okayama University in 1959.
He was designated a Living National Treasure in 2004.
