So the wheels started to spin and a little ceramicist woke up in Yuko. By continuing to exercise in her workshop, as a trainee in professional training, she learned the basics, discovered and experimented with different techniques, particularly passionate about turning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">It was during this learning phase that she felt more and more attracted by porcelain and in particular with the technique called neriage : a work on the mixture of colored clays. Subsequently she discovered the work of&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7NkCpRhscqs\" target=\"_blank\">Eiji MUROFUSHI&nbsp;<\/a>,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/nerikomiart.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mika SATO&nbsp;<\/a>and their workshop. So she started making porcelain pieces in nerikomi.<br>It was during this period, thanks to Dany, that she got to know&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.beudinlesaint.odexpo.com\/\">Florence BEUDIN LESAINT&nbsp;<\/a>. And since then, these three ceramists meet on a regular basis to exchange their know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spring 2016, Mr. MUROFUSHI received her for an intensive private internship and she was able to meet Ms. SATO, and since then she continues to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>2024 Janvier <\/strong>\u2013 Pour Dalloyau Paris.

This word comes from the Japanese, \"neriage\" \u7df4\u308a\u4e0a\u3052 \uff08or \u7df4\u4e0a\uff09 pronounced more like nose-bed-to-watch, literally translated: \"knead-finish\".\nThere is also the term \"nerikomi\", which also speaks of the work of mixing colored earths such as neriage. Nerikomi \u7df4\u308a\u8fbc\u307f\uff08or \u7df4\u8fbc\uff09means \"knead-put\".\nThe distinction of these words is not strict, but we often find that turned pieces are called neriages instead, while hand-shaped pieces are called nerikomi.\n\nYuko uses the term \u201cnerikomi\u201d like Mr. MUROFUSHI and Mrs. SATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nerikomi<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In a nerikomi piece, it is possible to see several colors, or just one but with different shades.\nIt can represent abstract images like clouds or waves, geometric patterns, or even a perfect design like flowers.\nHowever, all this is not \"painted\" because it is not an enamel or paint job. These patterns are the result of reassembling clays previously colored with different pigments.\n\nThe manipulation of porcelain further complicates these reassemblies because of its much more elastic texture than stoneware. During the various stages of design, drying and two firings, even the most experienced nerikomi ceramists are confronted with problems of cracking, breakage and deformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Images of porcelain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">To each person his expression of porcelain but it evokes us: whiteness, nobility, finesse, purity, sobriety...\nBring porcelain into your life, on your table, in your room, wherever you feel good.\nAnd don't get me wrong, porcelain isn't as fragile as you might think. Even if a cup or a statue seems fragile and brittle to you, the solidity is higher than that of stoneware. After the last firing, the porcelain becomes almost a stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">translucent porcelain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Yuko also plays with translucency in her nerikomi pieces.\nNatural porcelain tends to let light through. However, the pigment-colored parts cut this effect. Exposed to light, his pieces offer us another atmosphere, a kind of magic: the patterns are intensified and other hidden ones appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" data-id=\"44\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_porcelaine_translucide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_porcelaine_translucide.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_porcelaine_translucide-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_porcelaine_translucide-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" data-id=\"45\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_porcelaine_translucide_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_porcelaine_translucide_2.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_porcelaine_translucide_2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_porcelaine_translucide_2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soft touch, the final texture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yuko chooses not to enamel its porcelain pieces, in order to preserve the matte and pure side of the porcelain. She sands all her pieces after the last firing, with several papers. This step gives them a very soft \"skin\", very pleasant to the touch. A well-colored sauce or a coffee will not stain them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yukokuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/presentation_asanoha.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"translation-block\">\u201cHemp leaf\u201d is the translation of Asanoha. The triangles that form hexagons represent one of the traditional Japanese motifs. The diamond in two triangles is reminiscent of the pointed leaves of hemp.\nThe Asanoha pattern has long been a symbol of good health and also considered a talisman. Indeed, it is a plant that grows quickly, straight and very tall. Thus, in the past, parents dressed their newborn at the age of 2 or 3 days, with a small kimono in Asanoha pattern. In addition, there were many kimono with this pattern, especially as under-kimono, for the older ones, in order to benefit as closely as possible from its effect.\nBeliefs often associate the triangle with a protective power (talisman, exorcism). Multiplied, they increase their power.\nNowadays, it is omnipresent thanks to its beauty but its meaning is forgotten among the Japanese and absent among Westerners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yuko KURAMATSU, d\u2019origine Japonaise et poitevine d\u2019adoption, est passionn\u00e9e de tous les travaux manuels depuis son enfance.
