Yuriko Morioka, who is making pottery at the foot of Mt. Koya in Wakayama Prefecture.

Mr. Morioka's white porcelain is unglazed and baked as it is. The style of baking this slowly and gently in a firewood kiln and applying a reduction.
Occasionally, there are pinholes, swelling of the glaze due to air bubbles generated from the dough, and the effects of ash (yellow sesame, kiln changes, etc.) caused by firing in a wood-fired kiln, changes that cannot be seen in an electric or gas furnace. many too.
It seems that you love this fluctuation.
The soft bluish color and the gentle kiln transformation appeal to the viewer quietly and verbally.

Morioka's works have many long-time fans because of their gentle yet clear core, rich history, and deeply nourishing works.

Morioka's western dishes are also good. The rich texture of the glaze and the fluctuating proportions give it a sense of stability and security, and it has a strong personality that sets it apart from other western dishes. The point is the fun of the kiln changes that appeared here and there.
