Here is a very elegant shuhai, made by one of the best contemporary Shino potters: Suzuki Tomio. A shuhai is a cup used to drink alcohol, usually sake, but the size of this particular piece makes it a perfect beer drinking vessel, or any other beverage, for that matter. The cup was made in the Kagayo style of Shino pottery, a genre created by Suzuki Tomio, who is famous for his Yohenkin-shino vessels, which have a spectacular soft golden caramel glaze and rich nacreous effects. This shuhai i ...click for details

Here is a beautiful tsutsu chawan (cylindrical tea bowl) made in the raku style, a Kyoto pottery tradition born more than four hundred years ago. It was created by Chojiro (? – 1589), a Kyoto potter, under the guidance of Sen-no-rikyu (1522-1591), a tea master, to cater to his needs for tea bowls that would echo the principles he set for the tea ceremony. Though raku ware has evolved, to some extent, throughout the years, the hand-shaped pottery has kept some basic characteristics, found in th ...click for details

Here is an exquisite tsutsu chawan (cylindrical tea bowl), made by Koie Ryoji, one of the best known contemporary potters in Japan and abroad. The vessel got dressed in black when it was taken out of the kiln during the firing and suddenly plunged in water (hiki-dashi technique), much like it is done will raku and seto-guro bowls. The result is a wonderful pitch black robe that offers enchanting contrasts when used to drink green tea. At the kodai (foot), the spectacular volcanic landscape se ...click for details

This splendid guinomi (sake cup) is one of the new pieces fired by Ema Hiroshi in the spring of this year (2009). Looking at this new series of works, it seems clear the potter has tamed Someya pottery; an orphan tradition whose secrets of production he had to unearth and master alone. Someya-yaki (Someya ware) is born again, through the dedication of the artist, and reveals itself to be one of the most authentic pottery styles; without pretension, yet solid in its rusticness, true to the esth ...click for details
