Z015 NAMIE
NAMIE TOHOKU OBORISOMA YAKI
This pottery was made at Suetokugama in Namie Town, Futaba County, Fukushima Prefecture (which was later relocated to Koriyama City after the disaster). The surface is decorated with a picture of a running horse, and the inside has cracks that appear due to the difference in shrinkage rate between the material and the glaze.
