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 (Tanba-Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture) is an artist who, after graduating from Ryukoku University, honed his skills at the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramics Training 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.
The shape of a katakuchi, with its elegantly extended spout, is a vessel that combines practicality and beauty. Simply placing it on your dining table adds a dignified presence.
The soft transition of colors, from beige to pale green, unique to ash glaze, creates a rustic yet sophisticated appearance.
It's a versatile size that can be used not only as a sake server for cold sake or shochu, but also as a container for dressings, sauces, and gravies.
