For Karugane, the most captivating aspect of clay is its warmth. She skillfully molds it by hand or with molds to capture its warm expression—solid and reassuring, gently enveloping. Through her careful attention to texture, she emphasizes these qualities using glazes and slips.
 
It feels lonely to keep making pottery with only solid color and smooth surface.” For this reason, Karugane created a series of works with a primitive and rough outlook that resemble stones and rusted metals, mimicking the ancient artifacts in smooth and soft colors of various shades and depth.
 
She even uses dried leaves that others consider useless to make yellow pigment, and grinds stones into powder to color her pottery. The rich and delicate colors of her work resemble nature, and even the blue color that she often uses has its unique shade and depth.
