Matcha Bowl (Chawan) - Oil-Spot Tenmoku, Shinemon Kiln, Arita Ware

Sale price¥1,046,500

A silver crystalline glaze glittering in the well of a tenmoku (jet-black) tea bowl.

Mature Skill on the Wheel
Shinemon’s matured skill on the potter’s wheel. Made by the traditional technique of yuteki tenmoku (oil-spot tenmoku), this work is filled with refinement and solid presence — truly a work that speaks to the heart.

Stars in a Night Sky
The smoked-silver crystals make a world of illusion, as though one were gazing at the shining stars of the night sky. The finest masterpiece of Shinemon I, in which a sensation of becoming one with the cosmos wells up.

Born of 1,280°C
This is the work of time and space, appearing only through continuous firing at the high temperature of 1,280°C. A mysterious yohen work beyond what words can describe. We would be glad if you would keep it in your collection.

Shinemon

Shinemon (Kusuo Baba), also known as Shinemon Baba, is a leading Japanese artist specializing in the yohen technique. "Yohen" refers to the phenomenon where chemical reactions during firing produce beautiful colors and crystalline patterns, and its natural beauty is often likened to the mysteries of the universe. In 2012, Shinemon achieved the Special Selection Award in the Craft Arts category at the 44th Japan Fine Arts Exhibition (Nitten) and has received numerous awards in the field of ceramics.
