I am eager to make dishes that can be used casually, taking advantage of features of the clay of Echizen ware.
I think that dishes should look natural when the food is laid on them. It should feel comfortable to hold in your hand. It should be easy to put on a shelf. I mainly make tableware, but want to create works using a firewood kiln or flower vases or new Echizen ware which still follows the tradition.
