The World of Overglaze Enamel Reproducing the Breath of Life
Ceramic artist Yukika Shibata depicts plants and animals with a delicate touch based on sketches using overglaze enamel. Using the traditional five colors of Kutani at the base, she also uses the intermediate and neutral colors that her master, ceramic artist Yoshiaki Yamada uses, and portrays the soft colors in nature on her ceramics. Shibata says, "I try to harmonize the colors, form and white space when producing my ceramics", and handles the whole process from forming the base to painting by herself. Keeping a distance from the typical gorgeous Kutani ware, she creates high quality artwork with her fragile yet warm original world of realism.
