New to me that is &#8211; if it sounds Japanese, it&#8217;s likely thousands of years old!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mishima is a way of inlaying clay in clay.  You draw or carve an image into leather hard clay, fill the carving with coloured slip, and then scrape back the surface so you get a neat line in the clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds simple.  I tried the version where you use shellac or wax resist to seal the surface before you carve, and then the excess slip just wipes away!  Simple, right?  Pah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mishima Demo\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jOLS2M0AB6I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is not me.  See how simple it looks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, I knew better, so had my flat clay, less than leather hard, and did the inlay on that before I used a former to press them into shape. But each time I added slip the clay got wetter and less stable, and I wiped the inlay away time and time again. I thought it would be easier to carve on the flat. Turns out it just didn&#8217;t work unless the base is leather hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
