The influence of Korean wares, particularly Mishima and Hakeme decorative techniques, is pervasive in YOSHIDA's work. Mishima ware is a traditional decoration of Japanese ceramics originally used on Koryo and Yi period Korean stoneware and porcelain. Pots are stamped with a pattern while soft and covered with a slip that contrasts in color with the clay body. The slip fills the stamped areas and, when slightly drier, may be scraped or wiped off from the surface of the pot to show the designs. Hakeme is a style that uses a stiff brush to swiftly apply a white slip directly to the surface of a pot. It can be translated as "brush grain". Hakeme was widely practiced by Korean potters on Punch'ong wares.
