As a student, he immersed himself in the study of underglaze painting techniques from Ming dynasty Chinese kilns — ceramics of unparalleled refinement in the history of art. Rather than reproducing them, however, he sought to go further: to find a language entirely his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom this search was born his technique, which he calls \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ezōgan-sometsuke\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e — literally, \u003cb\u003e\"inlaid blue-and-white decoration\"\u003c\/b\u003e.

This \u003ci\u003egosu\u003c\/i\u003e — a pigment used in ceramics since ancient times — takes on a particular depth and vibrancy in his hands, somewhere between a night sky and Chinese ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhere brushwork would leave slightly softened edges, the direct inlay into the clay produces lines of a \u003cb\u003esharpness and sophistication\u003c\/b\u003e that the brush alone cannot achieve.
