I am a professional potter from Saga, Japan.
My specialty is Karatsu style "Mishima" technique.
Today I’m going to make plates(21cm).
I will introduce the process from clay shaping to before bisque firing. I hope you enjoy watching!

It's wonderful to see things being made by hand. Mass produced ceramics never have as much personality or unique beauty as what is made by hand.

I wish you had filmed the actual mishima process with the glazes!

I love your simple yet abundant daisy texture on all of your work. It is a joy see your work.

I just wonder if you are OK because of the big earthquake and its replicas/aftershocks. I checked on a map and the Saga prefecture is under alert for Tsunami... 🙏

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you for nice words. My area was fine, but other parts of the country hit worse.

Do you have a video where you show the plastic you put on your stamp? Thank you!:-)

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I don’t have a video showing how I cover them. You can see the stamps from different angles in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6XJqGmXmbOYqLMsi=rZiLluQV5PMhgKYu

ありがとうございます。同じ印花の模様にひとつだけ、似ているけどちょっと変わった花を入れるとおしゃれな感じがするようなしないような。作家だけが分かる仕様はいかがでしょうか？
