From what I understand so far (limited knowledge) pieces from Shigaraki and Iga are high fired, so it must be the clay. Don’t know enough about other regional approaches yet.Bok wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 12:20 amVictoria Interesting topic!
I wonder if I should contribute some of my wood-fired pots, although they are Taiwanese? I believe that the potters here copied, or at least got heavily inspired by the Japanese way of firing. Some Bizen pieces have the exact same colourings and surfaces as are typical for the Taiwanese wood fired wares.
What I am surprised is that the Japanese ones are absorbing in nature! The Taiwanese ones are so a very tiny bit in the beginning, after a few times of use, that is normally gone. Maybe difference in firing temperature?
I too encourage you to show and please tell. I am not familiar with Taiwanese wood fired pots, nor am I familiar with your work, which just recently I read a few words of yours referring to it. Always much to learn.
