"Somenishiki Platinum-iro" (Underglaze-painted 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 process requires firing the piece after the application of each individual color—totaling six to ten firings—before the platinum is finally fired. 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 sparkle. 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 the tea bowls used at temples on Mount Tianmu (Tenmoku-san) in Zhejiang Province, China. Japanese Zen monks visiting China during the Kamakura period brought these bowls back home, and they eventually came to be known in Japan as "Tenmoku" after the mountain itself.
While eschewing ostentatious beauty, Tenmoku ware evokes a profound, mysterious world of deep black tones, making it one of the most highly prized types of pottery in the world 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, people began flying *koinobori* (carp streamers) during the Tango no Sekku festival to pray for the healthy growth and future success of their children. 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 motif.
