Ando Hidetake, born in 1938, hails from the esteemed Mino pottery family of Gifu prefecture. In 1960, he embarked on a remarkable journey as an apprentice under the guidance of Kato Tokuro. Throughout his career, he garnered widespread recognition for his exceptional skills in Shino pottery, amassing numerous accolades from prestigious exhibitions such as the National Traditional Arts and Crafts Exhibition, the Asahi Ceramics exhibition in 1970, and the Japanese National Ceramics Exhibition in 1971. In recognition of his invaluable contributions, Ando Hidetake was bestowed with the esteemed title of Important Prefectural Cultural Property in 2003.
One of the defining characteristics of Shino ware is its glaze, which is typically thick and creamy white, with a distinctive crackle pattern. The Shino glaze is created by applying a feldspathic glaze mixed with wood ash onto the pottery, and then firing it in a reduction atmosphere, typically in a wood-fired kiln. The reduction firing process, which involves limiting the oxygen supply during firing, results in the unique crackle pattern and imparts a warm and rustic quality to the pottery.
The aesthetic of Shino ware is deeply rooted in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which appreciates the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and the natural world. Shino ware embodies the rustic simplicity, humility, and organic irregularities that are highly valued in the wabi-sabi aesthetic. The crackle pattern on the glaze is seen as a representation of the passage of time and the concept of "mushin" or "no-mind," which emphasizes spontaneity and living in the present moment.
Shino ware also reflects the Japanese concept of "mono no aware," which is the appreciation of the transient nature of life and the beauty of impermanence. The potters often embrace a sense of mindfulness and intuition in their creative process, allowing the kiln and firing process to have a significant influence on the final outcome. This results in pottery that has a sense of authenticity, uniqueness, and connection to nature.
