The term &#039;&#039;hakeme&#039;&#039; literally means &quot;brush marks&quot; and refers to the distinctive streaked patterns created during the application of slip.<br /> <br /> In this technique, a potter brushes liquid clay slip over the surface of a vessel, usually while the clay is still in a leather-hard state. The slip is applied using a coarse brush, often made from plant fibers or straw, producing expressive linear marks across the surface.<br /> <br /> The brush strokes remain visible after firing and create a characteristic pattern in which the white slip contrasts with the darker clay body beneath. The result often displays a sense of movement and spontaneity, as the brush marks follow the gestures of the potter.<br /> <br /> Hakeme decoration is commonly combined with a transparent glaze, which softens the contrast between the slip and the clay while preserving the texture of the brush strokes.<br /> <br /> The technique has been widely used in Japanese ceramics, particularly in traditions influenced by Korean pottery. Hakeme surfaces appear in wares such as [[Karatsu ware]], [[Hagi ware]], and other stoneware traditions.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Kohiki]]<br /> * [[Slip trailing]]<br /> * [[Underglaze painting]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Artisanal techniques]]<br /> [[Category:Ceramics artisanal techniques]]</div>
