FUKUNO, Michitaka FUKUNO, Michitaka Fukuno Kiln

Kasama Ware


SUMMARY

・FUKUNO trained under ITO, Motohiko who was one of the greatest Kasama potter with "nunome" technique.
・Works feature a balanced combination between an original geometric pattern and overglaze decoration, and gold decoration.
・However, the design is not mechanical, it rather comes from coating colors, that tells us softness and simplicity.
・He carefully paints his patterns one by one with his left hand using a brush and handmade paints.
・We enjoy artworks that are bringing out bright feeling while getting into the swing of things.
