Q:About own style

A decorative technique called “Slipware” is primarily used in my pottery works. (“Slipware” technique originated in England and it was introduced to Mashiko, Japan by Shoji Hatama.)
I will add slip to a hardened body of clay, and then I will draw lines and patterns on top of it.
 

Q:About Mashiko

Mashiko is a quiet and peaceful town and the people here have multiple talents.
