Tamba ware is said to have originated from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period, and is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns (certified as Japan Heritage). Shusaku Ichino of Shozo Kiln (Tamba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture) is an artist who, after graduating from Ryukoku University, honed his skills at the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramics Vocational High School and continues to create pottery as the third generation. While valuing traditional techniques, he produces modern works with rich colors and delicate flows, and has received numerous awards, including the Grand Prize at the Kobe Biennale Contemporary Ceramics Competition.
This bowl is characterized by its impressive, deliberately asymmetrical triangular outline. The gentle ash glaze, which softly transitions from beige to pale green, adds a rustic yet refined look.
This bowl is a versatile size, with its triangular shape adding a nice accent to your table. It can be used for salads, side dishes, fruits, and many other daily occasions.
Due to the handmade molding and glazing process, there are individual differences in the shape of the outline and the color of the ash glaze. Please enjoy the unique texture of handcrafted items, with each piece having its own distinct character.
