About this Work

This Shigaraki ware features delicate "rope" pattern shinogi carving on the rim. The delicate "rope" pattern shinogi carving on the rim is created by carving vertical lines and then finely carving diagonal lines into the remaining sections, producing a warm, knitted-rope-like appearance. Rather than being flat, it's shaped like a shallow bowl, making it naturally stylish when used for salads, curries, or pasta. The pattern on the rim not only adds a festive touch to the table but also keeps the focus on the food, making your dishes look even more appealing.

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.
