Seiakuji Hachi (青白磁鉢)

This is an Arita ware bowl which Jun-san has created.
Potter’s wheel throwing to shape.
Seemingly the bowl looks like leaning diagonally, but it's an interesting shape to keep the edge horizontal.
The bowl has beautiful blue pale painting.
That's something you can enjoy looking at it.

Seihakuji (青白磁)
It's one kind of hakuji, there's the pale blue-green color caused by subtle amount of iron.
The transparent color that blends into nature is really impressive on the whole.
It's all started with baked works in China.
The glaze containing iron turns to light blue by reduction firing.
