Characteristics of Asami Maeda's jiucasca Works

Asami Maeda's works are characterized by their fresh, translucent white porcelain. Its pure white radiance calms the hearts of those who see it, giving a sense of purity as if it has captured the beautiful morning light.

Using a technique called "itchin," the squeezed out patterns adorn the "vessel" as lovely accents. In addition, the "uchi-komi" decoration, which imitates natural leaves, expresses the delicate details of the leaf veins, allowing you to experience a beauty that feels as if a part of nature has been cut out.

Translucent beauty and durable white porcelain vessels

Asami Maeda primarily creates "white porcelain." This white porcelain, with its translucent beauty, is also excellent in durability and usability, making it a familiar "vessel" that can be used casually in everyday life. It features a simple design that enhances the colors and textures of food, and its charm lies in its compatibility with any dish.
