About this Work

This charming Shigaraki ware rice bowl features countless delicately carved "shinogi" patterns. The countless delicate "shinogi" patterns are meticulously carved one by one by hand, adding color to the entire piece. While sized as a rice bowl, it can also be used for miso soup with plenty of ingredients, pot-au-feu, or as a soup cup. As it is handmade, there will be individual differences in color and carving, and as you use it, it will develop a deeper luster and unique character, making it a truly one-of-a-kind item.

Artisan Story

The "shinogi" pattern, meticulously carved by hand, is a distinctive feature. The "shinogi" pattern is rhythmic and dynamic, giving the pottery a rich expression. The artist creates pottery in a traditional kiln inherited from their grandfather, preserving the Shigaraki ware tradition while incorporating the unique shinogi characteristic.

"Shinogi" originally refers to the raised ridge on a Japanese sword blade. In pottery, it is a design technique where a spatula or plane is used to shave off the surface, creating continuous vertical削り目 (shinogi marks).

The artist creates various pieces such as rimmed plates, soup cups, curry plates, teacups, and mugs. By coordinating your dining table with "shinogi" patterns, you can create a splendid impression.
