Stoneware sculpture
Stoneware sculpture was created using the techniques of
Iwami-yaki pottery from the Iwami region of Shimane Prefec-
ture. Iwami region is renowned for the production of durable
pottery. The local clay used for the pottery is resistant to mois-
ture and salt, making it suitable for tiles, water jars, and pickle
jars. In its heyday, the area was bustling with more than a
hundred pottery producers. However, with the spread of
chemically manufactured and metal products, demand for
Iwami tiles and pottery has decreased, and now there are only
a few kilns that maintain the traditional methods.
The potteries are produced by artisans who handcraft every
step of the process, from making the clay to moulding and
firing. The experienced potter can make large items such as
jars and water jars, and those largest in size can be over two
meters high and one meter in diameter.
Using Shinozukuri, a unique pottery technique of Iwami-yaki
famous for the scale of products, a clay stretched into a string
rope is piled up in circles, and is formed by artisan using their
whole body while rotating the potter’s wheel. It requires great
strength and skill to swiftly shape the clay without hesitation.
Each Stoneware sculpture gives a different expression and
has a unique character and presence that of pottery. The
transparent glaze, which shows the colour of the original clay,
reveals the simplicity and texture of the material and blends
silently into versatile spaces. The clay is semi-porcelain, which
has both the characteristics of porcelain and ceramic. It is
hard and moisture-proof, suitable for outdoor use such as in
gardens and terraces.
Stoneware sculpture utilizes pottery techniques while Bronze
casting sculpture incorporates casting techniques, and they
share the same form. Together they express the uniqueness of
products born from different materials with traditional Japa-
nese manufacturing techniques.
