Tenmoku

Tenmoku is pottery that has spots around its surface. We use glaze with a mixture of iron and iron reacts to heat during its baking process. If the iron account for 15 percent of the glaze, the spots’ color will be black. If iron accounts for less than 15 percent, the spots will be blue. However, there is no established process for making Tenmoku pottery, so we use our original technology to make them, so it needs a high level of technology to make spots. We also make pottery, which imbeds real leaf inside of the pottery. The leaf will be immediately burnt when plates are baked, but we use durable leaves that endure its shape even in the high temperature.
