Simply having it nearby fills you with excitement — creative pottery in the Icchin technique.
Shiho Aikawa, a popular artist, creates works using the Icchin technique, a rare decorative method in which special tools are used to apply raised lines of pigment, producing three-dimensional paintings on ceramic surfaces. The Icchin technique, with its bold yet beautiful and pleasing textures, has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. Her works are vessels with a presence so striking that they bring joy simply by being there.
Please enjoy these creative ceramic works, made with extraordinary care and dedication.
In February 2025, one of Shiho Aikawa’s flower vases was selected as a gift for the Japan–U.S. summit.
