Egg Shell / 蛋壳 (Arita porcelain made in Saga, Japan)
There was made high quality table ware for exporting from Japan starting in Edo period. They tried to exceed the highest level of table ware, and create a porcelain which was so thin like an eggshell. That was called “RANKAKUDE” in Japan, and also called “eggshell” and extolment from Westerners. Nowadays, that old technique has just re-created in ARITA city which is famous for the porcelain industry. The thickness is made only about 1mm, and when we hold up to the light, we can see through on it. The surface conjures image of "cocoon" and the shape is very simple because they want to show a whiteness of ARITA ware.
The eggshell series won a prise in the 109th Kyushu Yamaguchi Touji exhibition in 2012.
