**About Sarasagama**

Sarasagama is the ceramic business of Tetsuo Nagae, based in Seto. This part of Japan is a major centre of ceramic production, so much so that ’setomono’ (‘things from seto’) remains a popular name for pottery in Japan.

While there is not much in clay that Seto can not produce, it is also home to numerous small and individual makers. Nagae is one of these, and the third generation of his family’s business.

His specialism in the ‘neriage’ technique, which is also sometimes known as nerikomi. This is a labour of love that generates pattern from compacted slices of multi-coloured clays.

Marbling is the entry-level effect achieved by this technique, but Nagae takes it further with complex pattern work including floral motifs and telescopic eyed goldfish. The texture and designs of neriage ceramics make them unique handmade items to own and use.
