Natsu Nishiyama
Nishiyama‘ｓ signature style is kurinuki ("hollow out" in Japanese).
Scrape a large block of clay with a wire or spatula, or smash it with stones to shape it. After that, hollow out the inside of the block.
You can enjoy different textures in one work, such as sharp lines carved with spatula and wire, and distorted forms beaten with stones.
She initially thought "as a sake lover myself, I cannot make uncool sake vessels". After a lot of trial and error, she arrived at a unique technique called "kurinuki" that is neither using a pottery wheel nor tebineri method(finger forming).
In order to replicate “wood-fire kiln firing in which oxidation and reduction are naturally repeated”, she fires her works by repeating oxidation and reduction many times in a gas kiln to create complicated color expressions.
Also, there are many fans of her deep green Oribe with a glimpse of vivid blue.
