    Earthenware with white clay inlay. One of only two female Japanese makers in this collection(Itoh Collection), Kitamura lives in the Kyoto area where there is a large group of independent (non-aligned with an established ceramic society) women working with clay. The artist adds pigment to the clay to make it a black colour. She notches intricate patterns, based on stencils used in fabric dyeing, into the leather-hard pot.

    Once first fired she fills the notches with white clay slip and fires again. It is a variation on the traditional Mishima technique. The pattern making can take up to a week to complete.
