1851 Shussai Kiln Matcha Bowl Rain's Wonders, Sunny Skies, Return to One ⚪︎ Shussai Kiln A kiln located in Shussai, Hikawa-cho (present-day Izumo City), Shimane Prefecture. Also, the pottery fired there. Shussai Kiln was established in the autumn of 1947, shortly after the end of World War II, in Hikawa-cho, Shimane Prefecture, on the banks of the Hii River, which flows into Lake Shinji, by five young men. Influenced by William Morris, guided by Kanjiro Kawai, Shoji Hamada, and Bernard Leach, and resonating with the folk art theory through their encounter with Soetsu Yanagi, a promoter of the Mingei movement, they wished to create "healthy, warm, and everyday utensils that accompany life." Using local soil, they have been continuing to fire simple, practical, everyday utensils by handcraftsmanship to this day. ● Size: (approx.)
