This piece is characterized by a unique technique of underglaze blue painting on white porcelain, clearly drawn in bright blue. Ryozo Shibata is a contemporary ceramic artist who works mainly in Kyoto.
 After conducting research on the underglaze blue and white porcelain of the Jingdezhen kilns of the Ming Dynasty in China during his student days, he pursued his originality and perfected his unique technique called “zogan sometsuke”.
The sharp, refined lines of inlaid underglaze blue, which are much sharper than those drawn with a brush, are combined with soft color planes dyed with Japanese paper to create underglaze blue works with a rich sense of expression and depth.

 学生時代、中国・明時代の景徳鎮窯の染付をテーマに研究を重ねた後、自らのオリジナリティを追求し、「象嵌染付(ぞうがんそめつけ)」という独自の手法を完成させました。 この筆で描かれるよりもずっとシャープで洗練された象嵌染付の線に、和紙で染めたやわらかな色面が加わり、表情ゆたかな透明感と奥行きのある染付作品が生み出されています。
