As the kiln reaches temperature the seaweed burns away, leaving fine, web-like impressions of rust and ember across the domed lid and low, wide body.

Born in 1949, he studied under his father, Tadayoshi Katayama, continuing a family legacy rooted in centuries of clay tradition. His work is best known for the mogake seaweed firing technique, in which natural seaweed is bound to the clay surface before high-temperature firing, leaving entirely unique, organic line patterns on each piece. These marks are not painted. They are the direct result of mineral interaction and flame in the kiln. Hakusan's pieces reflect a deep respect for material and process and are treasured by collectors for their quiet, natural beauty and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Katayama Hakusan (third-generation Tokoname potter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWare: Tokoname-yaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Shiboridashi (lidded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Unglazed, mogake (seaweed fired)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Tokoname clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 80ml\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHand-wash with water only, no soap.
