"Somenishiki Platinum-Irodori" is a unique technique developed by Kinsai Fujii. It involves applying platinum accents to white porcelain that has already been fired at 1,300°C, followed by a final firing at 800°C to bond the platinum to the surface. The piece undergoes multiple firings—typically six to ten rounds—as each individual color is applied, with the platinum firing serving as the final step. 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. This luxurious style harmoniously blends the traditions of Arita ware with a modern aesthetic.
"Tenmoku" refers to a type of black glaze. The name originates from the tea bowls used in 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. 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 by the end of the Edo period, the custom of flying *koinobori* (carp streamers) during the Tango no Sekku festival emerged, expressing wishes for children's healthy growth and future success. Carp motifs have long been cherished and utilized across a wide range of artistic mediums, including *maki-e* lacquerware and ceramics. With its noble beauty, the carp is a highly auspicious and popular design.
