"Somenishiki Platinum-iro" (Dyed Brocade with Platinum Accents) is a unique technique developed by Kinsai Fujii. It involves applying platinum decoration over white porcelain that has already been fired at 1,300°C, followed by a final firing at 800°C to bond the platinum. The piece undergoes multiple firings—typically six to ten rounds—with a separate firing for each color of pigment used, before the platinum is fired last. The platinum applied across the surface creates subtle nuances of light and shadow; its luster shifts depending on the angle of the light and the viewer's perspective, ensuring a constant, radiant gleam. It is a luxurious style that fuses the traditions of Arita ware with a modern sensibility.
"Tenmoku" refers to a type of black glaze. The name originates from tea bowls used at temples on Mount Tianmu (Tenmoku-san) in Zhejiang Province, China; Japanese Zen monks who visited China during the Kamakura period brought these bowls back home, and they eventually came to be known in Japan as "Tenmoku" after the mountain. Eschewing ostentatious beauty in favor of a profound, mysterious world of deep black, Tenmoku ware is highly prized in the realm of the tea ceremony.
Carp
In China, there is a legend that a carp ascending the "Dragon Gate" waterfall in the rapids of the Yellow River transforms into a dragon; consequently, the carp is revered as a symbol of great leaps forward and career success. This concept spread to Japan, and from the late Edo period onward, *koinobori* (carp streamers) began to be flown during the Tango no Sekku festival to pray for children's healthy growth and future success. Carp motifs have long been cherished and utilized across a wide range of art forms, including *maki-e* lacquerware and ceramics. With its noble beauty, the carp is a highly auspicious and popular design.
