Description
He creates works using standard Bizen clay and applies black slip after drying.
"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 state.
The black slip applied to the work transforms into a beautiful black color when fired.
This Guinomi is fascinating because it is transformed by the intense flames.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1936.
He graduated from Okayama University in 1959.
He was designated as a Living National Treasure in 2004.
