Candy-like ceramics”I’ve never seen ceramics like this. It looks like sugar candy,” Nakata commented. The pieces were in various shapes, such as utensils, lampshades and objects, but the one common factor was that many were made in pastel colors such as pink. Another characteristic was that the decorations on the pieces were small and delicate, the patterns stamped on the pieces called seal flowers were fancy. Pop and unique features of the pieces have captured public interest making her a popular artist. |
Switching from working in an office to an ceramic artistOtsuki did not study ceramics at an arts college or in school. |
The origin of her fancy motifPerhaps she is able to create her special fancy pieces because she did not take the standard path as a ceramic artist. ”Where do these motifs come from?” asked Nakata, and her surprising answer was, ”Photographs.” |
