Kasama ware, originating from Kasama City in Ibaraki Prefecture, is one of Japan’s oldest ceramic traditions, known for its creative freedom and innovative spirit. Akiyama builds on this heritage while expressing a bold, modern aesthetic through experimental form and firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"872\" data-start=\"545\"\u003eThe piece is created using the \u003cstrong data-end=\"600\" data-start=\"576\"\u003ecarbon firing method\u003c\/strong\u003e, in which the kiln is placed in a strong reduction atmosphere during cooling. This \"return reduction\" process increases carbon dioxide levels inside the kiln, allowing soot to adhere to the surface.
