This program takes you on a journey throughout Japan and explores the charm of the ceramic culture. In this episode, we'll introduce Satsuma-yaki, an earthenware that was made in the Satsuma region in Kagoshima Prefecture. We'll take a look at white ivory colored details with gold and pigmented decorations, which sprung into fame in the 19th century, a simple black glazed body, as well as different patterns that have a shark-skin like texture. In the program, we'll show the beauty of these unique materials made in a volcanic region that led to the different styles of this crafted vessel.
