Another very attractive guinomi (sake cup) made by one of Japan’s best-known contemporary potters, Suzuki Goro. Shino pottery has a more than four hundred year history. It was born in the kilns of the ancient Mino province (current Aichi and Gifu prefectures). Shino ware is essentially made for the Japanese tea ceremony. The soft tones of this particular cup are in perfect balance with the more masculine underglaze markings. It seems to invite a thirsty hand with a gentle touch. ...click for details

This fabulous chawan (tea bowl) is part of a series of 20 Raku bowls made by Suzuki Goro in 2006. It was a first (and maybe a last) for the potter who is better known for his Mino wares. Suzuki Goro is a potter’s wheel prodigy who has attained the highest levels of knowledge of his crafts. But recently, he sometimes put the wheel aside and lends his hands more creative freedom to feel and shape his work. As Raku wares are hand formed, they are an ideal new way of expression for the prolific ...click for details

Here is yet another splendid chawan (tea bowl) by Unokawa Kazumasa. The finely crackled glaze of the bowl mirrors the elegant robe of classic celadon wares and gives it its noble character. The appellation “Tenmoku” originally refers to the shape of the bowl first made near Mount Tien-mu (Tenmoku, in Japanese) in China and brought to Japan by Japanese Buddhist monks who had studied there. The bowls were used as rice bowls by the Chinese, but were much prized by the Ashikaga Shoguns and gained ...click for details
