Kyosuke Fujiwara Bizen Shino This is an E-Shino tea bowl. "Bizen Shino" refers to the combination of Bizen firing techniques with Shino ware glaze. This combination creates a natural texture and a soft expression, and the unique yuzu-hada (citron skin) and color changes due to kiln transformation, which are characteristic of Shino ware, make this a unique item. Born in Honami, Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, as the second son of Kei Fujiwara (a Bizen ware ceramic artist, holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property, Living National Treasure), his older brother, Yu Fujiwara, is also a holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure), just like their father. He is the person who fused Bizen ware and Shino ware to create Bizen Shino. He has since changed his name from Kyosuke to Keisuke, so this is an early piece by Kyosuke Fujiwara.
