Kikumomi clay kneading, Ceramics from Okinawa
Kyoto Women's University, Lifestyle Design Laboratory
Kyōto-shi, Japan
The thorough kneading of the clay before placing it on the potter’s wheel is called kikumomi in Japanese. This is called so for the chrysanthemum-like pattern left on the clay as a result of the kneading. Kikumomi is an important step for removing any air within the clay and ensuring an even consistency.
