Dorodango (Japanese: 泥だんご, lit. "mud dumpling") is a Japanese art form in which earth and water are molded, then carefully polished to create a delicate shiny sphere, resembling a billiard ball. Dorodangos made with a variety of clay and different techniques The phrase dorodango (泥だんご) is derived from the Japanese words doro (泥, lit. "mud") and dango (だんご, a type of round dumpling created from pressed rice flour) Technique A dorodango at an early stage. In this case, the lack of gloss is due to it not yet undergoing polishing with fine dust particles. Making the basic dorodango is a traditional pastime for school children. More recently, the process has been refined into the art of the hikaru ("shining") dorodango (光る泥だんご), which has a glossy surface. Several different techniques can be used.Across all methods, a core of the ball is made of basic mud, which has been carefully shaped by hand to be as round as possible. This core is left to dry, and then methodically and carefully dusted with finely sifted soil to create a crust several millimeters thick around the core. This step may be repeated several times, with finer and finer grains of dirt in order to create a smooth and shiny surface. A cloth then may be used to gently polish the surface. The dorodango, once completed, may look like a polished stone sphere, but it is still very fragile. The process requires several hours and careful focus so as not to break the ball. #mudball #mudart #clayart #clayball #dorodango #japaneseart #oldart #myobsession #mycollection (at Clayarts) https://www.instagram.com/p/COmdb0yB-MJ/?igshid=1s1jr4hzf0ufa
