Black slip is applied to half of the sphere and horizontal lines are made, while reddish brown slip is applied to the other half and the surface scratched using a stone to bring out a rough texture. Ichino Masahiko (1961—) was born as the second son of the family at Shimizu Kiln in Tamba’s Tachikui area. By basing on his definition of utsuwa (wares) being implements that are hollow on the inside, Ichino creates works by seeking out new forms while paying great attention to the identity of Tamba Ware (such as the clay used and slip techniques applied).
