These are works by Tomoko Iwata, who creates pottery in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture.

Most of Ms. Iwata's works are created using the hand-building technique (a method of shaping by stacking coiled clay), so each piece is one-of-a-kind.

Her collection includes three types: "Carbonization," where firing is repeated many times to create a matte, metallic black color; "Rust Hair Slipware," where designs are applied using slip; and "Ash Glaze," which uses natural plant ash to create a beautiful, unique green glassy texture.

Ms. Iwata used to paint. It seems her interest shifted from painting to clay, leading her to transition to pottery.

The forms of her works, conceived with meticulous attention to detail, and her pursuit of the textures of clay and glaze result in pieces that are truly unparalleled.
