This is a set of two matcha bowls from Tokoname ware. These are carefully crafted pieces, designed with the scenery of poured matcha in mind. Please note that a box is not included. [About the Work] These are works by a ceramic artist based in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture. I am acquainted with the artist and received many of their works, which I have kept unused. Therefore, I would like many people to enjoy them, which is why I am listing them for sale now. Please use them as you wish, whether for tea ceremony, daily use, or display. The artist's name will only be disclosed to the purchaser, so please be aware of this in advance. [About the Artist] The artist has won multiple prestigious awards, including the "Asahi Ceramic Art Exhibition Grand Prix" and the "Chozan Ceramic Art Exhibition Chozan Grand Prize," and is highly regarded for both their technical skill and artistic sensibility. [Characteristics of the Style] The artist is known for their "yakishime" (fired unglazed) works made in a cave kiln. They create many dynamic pieces that convey the power of earth and fire, such as "shizen-yu" (natural glaze) formed by the natural melting and adhering of wood ash without the use of glaze, and "hi-iro" (fire color) that changes depending on the direction of the flame. While their style is based on tradition, their unique forms and firing expressions are highly praised. ◎These items are also listed on other sites. Please understand that they may be sold out.
