<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nOnce we decide on the direction of the shape, we make prototypes to explore the relationship between clay and glaze and determine the production method.
\nFor Mitsukumo, we experimented with slab building, using flat slices of clay.

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nOnce the shape and glaze combination are decided, production begins.
