釉薬 ＆ 色
唐津焼の伝統には「鯨肌（くじらはだ）」と呼ばれる技法があり、器の縁に鉄絵の具を塗るのが特徴です。この名は、かつて唐津が捕鯨基地として栄えていた頃に由来し、白い器に黒っぽい縁取りがなされた様子が、脂ののった鯨の皮の断面に似ていることからそう呼ばれるようになりました。捕鯨が行われなくなった今も、その名は焼き物の世界に生き続けています。

Glaze & Color
In the rich tradition of Karatsu ware, there is a classic technique known as Kujirahada (whale skin) or Kawakujira, characterized by a distinct iron-glaze border applied along the rim of the piece. This name dates back to the era when Karatsu flourished as a major whaling base. The appearance of a dark, bold rim bordering a pale dish closely resembled a cross-section of rich whale skin, which inspired the name. While whaling is a thing of the past, this beautiful, historic term continues to live on in the world of Japanese ceramics.
