Koishiwara ware
Tobikanna Gosunzara
The "tobikanna" technique is a traditional method representative of Koishiwara ware. In this technique, a vessel made of freshly dried red clay is covered with a white glaze and then turned on a potter's wheel. As the wheel turns, a geometric pattern is carved into the surface using a sharp blade. The planes of the pattern are gently sloped toward the vessel's center, allowing food to be served stably.
