Features of this piece
A pair of Shino (志野) hanaire (花入). One glows with a powerful fire color (火色 hi-iro)—the beauty and strength of a sunset, deep and warm—its surface rippling in three dimensions with a natural flow and vitality, a presence that draws the whole room taut. The other is milky white, pure and gentle, carrying an elegant, dignified air; the same dimensional waves lend it a soft beauty. Together they bring both strength and grace to a space.

Shino
The moment of change
Shino is an elusive vessel that was created for only a brief period in the tea world over 450 years ago. It was fired in large kilns and anagama kilns from the late 16th century to the early 17th century. The charm of Shino lies in its characteristic appearance of a snow-white surface, created by using feldspar, with a subtle, warm fire color visible within it. Bringing out this beautiful color is extremely difficult due to the need for strong reduction firing, where the kiln temperature does not easily rise, necessitating constant temperature adjustments day and night. The kiln firing lasts for more than seven days, conducted under extremely harsh conditions, requiring careful attention. The outcome varies significantly with the seasons and climate, demanding a level of delicacy that allows for no moment of inattention. The color of Shino leaves an impression like "the soil seen after the snow melts" or "a beautiful sunset formed by clouds and the setting sun." Capturing and expressing the fleeting natural beauty without any preconceived ideas or intentions, Shino continues to captivate people's hearts, both now and in the past.
Shino Hanaire - With a Presence Like an Art Object
The Shino flower vase has a striking presence even when displayed on its own. When flowers are arranged in it, the beauty of nature is further enhanced, evoking the charm of flowers blooming in the wild. Rain falls on the mountains, forms rivers, and flows into the sea. This cycle of nature has continued from ancient times to the present. The Shino flower vases made by Kato Takaya with rare Mogusa clay capture and express these transformations of Japanese nature as an emotional landscape.
