 SENDA Yoshiaki:
Yoshiaki Senda's technique requires hand-layering various types of clays, then shaping the forms. In some cases, the ornamentation is visible on both sides of the pot. In other cases, contrasting colors or glazes are applied. Unlike popular marbling techniques involving wedging different colors of clay together and accentuating the marbling effect using trimming techniques, Senda’s technique allows for precise control of the pattern which emerges. Some of the objects have a deceptively elegant simplicity, such as those with repeated geometric patterns; others have more organic motifs, such as those with cherry blossoms or leaves.
