Radial Glaze Patterns. The Serene Hues of Ash Glaze.

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 a Japan Heritage site). Shusaku Ichino of Shozo Kiln (Tambasasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture) is an artist who, after graduating from Ryukoku University, honed his skills at Kyoto Prefectural Ceramics and Porcelain Advanced Technical School, and continues to create pottery as the third-generation successor. While cherishing 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.

01. Radial ash glaze patterns spreading from the center to the rim

This shallow bowl features the delicate beauty of ash glaze, spreading radially from the center towards the rim. The soft transition of the glaze's expression, from beige to a pale green, adds serenity and depth to your dining table.

02. Shallow form, perfect for serving or desserts

With its shallow form, this bowl is a versatile size, ideal for serving individual portions, side dishes, or desserts.

03. Unique glaze patterns – no two are alike

Since each piece is glazed by hand, there are individual differences in how the glaze spreads and in its coloration, allowing you to enjoy a unique expression in every item, even within the same product line.
