Shiho Kanzaki's Works.All of my work is made by coil building. In the end, I throw it from under to upper only once at a breath. It is fired in an anagama kiln for over ten days which produces a natural ash deposits. Shigaraki ware is fired on the shelves in the chamber room. The surrounding pieces create an environment for formation of a landscape of running glazes down the front of the work. Iga ware is fired in the fire box. The placement of the pieces in a kiln is very important for deposit of the natural ash. Iga ware has a part of scorching at the bottom of the work. The flow of the fire flame is extremely strong in the fire box, like in a whirl. So all of the works putting in the fire box tend to get much natural ash deposits.  All of my work has a box of paulownia wood.  Shiho Kanzaki
