Koike Shōko seeks inspiration for her pottery in the shapes and forms of the sea, especially various types of shells. She exclusively uses clay from the area of Shigaraki (an ancient Japanese pottery center) and covers her forms with thick matte white glaze before adding darker accents to the edges in iron-oxide or metallic glazes.
