Tamba ware is said to have originated in the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period, and is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns (certified as a Japan Heritage site). Shusaku Ichino of Shozogama (Tanba-Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture) is an artist who, after graduating from Ryukoku University, honed his skills at the Kyoto Prefectural Advanced Technical College for Ceramics, and continues to create pottery as the third generation. While valuing traditional techniques, he produces contemporary works with rich colors and delicate flows, and has received numerous awards, including the Grand Prize at the Kobe Biennale Contemporary Ceramics Competition.
This deep donburi bowl is available in two glazes with different expressions. The way the glaze flows down from the rim creates a unique landscape for each piece, allowing you to enjoy the pleasure of choosing your own vessel.
With its generous depth and capacity, this versatile donburi bowl is perfect for a wide range of dishes, from ramen and udon noodles to donburi (rice bowls) and salad bowls. Its simple, timeless appearance blends in with both Japanese and Western dining tables.
Due to the manual glazing process, there are individual differences in the flow and color of the glaze. Please enjoy the unique texture of handmade items, where each piece has a different expression.
