Testuya Ozawa on his glazing process:
“I use old technique called “KOFUKI.”
I put white soil on the clay which contains a lot of iron, like putting on "make-up.”
It is a distinctive technique that creates a soft texture on the surface. It does make a totally different texture compared with the regular white porcelains. “
