Salt glaze
Applying a salt glaze on a lustrous cobalt blue is a style typical of Tatsuzo Shimaoka’s work. The technique involves the employment of vertically-halved bamboo stems to spread raw salt into the ‘fourth baking chamber’ when its temperature reaches 1300℃. This allows the sodium gas from the burned salt to react with the silicic acid of the earthenware to generate sodium glass, which forms a fine and regular grainy glass coating on its surface.
