Shiho Kanzaki




Shigaraki Tea bowls

Shiho Kanzaki's Works.

Shigaraki Ware.

All of my work is made by coil building.
In the end, I throw it from under to uper only onece at
one breath.
It is fired in an anagama kiln for over ten days which
produces a natural ash deposits.
Shigaraki ware is that it's fired on the shelve in the
chamber room.

Iga Ware

My work is made by coil building. In the end, I throw it
from under to uper only onece at one breath.
It is fired in an anagama kiln for over ten days which
produces a natural ash deposits.
The difference between Iga ware and Shigaraki ware is
that Shigaraki ware is fired in the chamber room, and
Iga ware is fired in the fire box.
The placement of the pieces in the kiln is very important
for the deposit of the ash.
The surrounding pieces create an environment for the
formation of a landscape of running glazes down the front
of the work.
