More Information

Fukami Sueharu was born into a Kyoto family of production potters specializing in Chinese-style blue-and-white porcelain. He developed his own method of working with porcelain clay, producing slender, elegant, and blade-like sculptures like this one through slip casting. He injects pressurized liquid clay into a plaster mold to achieve a sleek surface.
