Its mark is shinogi: facets carved one at a time, by hand, rhythmic and full of movement, giving the whole piece its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShinogi originally named the raised ridge running along the blade of a Japanese sword. In pottery it means paring the surface back with a blade or a kanna to leave a run of vertical facets. Yamamoto Masanori uses it across rim plates, soup cups, curry plates, teacups and mugs, and a table set entirely in shinogi takes on a certain brightness from that alone. It is the Shigaraki tradition carried on, with one technique of the maker\u0026rsquo;s own laid over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut by hand, so colour and carving vary from piece to piece.
