Features of the work

This piece features the beautiful "kairagi" pattern, known for its unique charm.

The beauty of Setoguro lies in its subtle nuances within the jet-black surface, presenting different expressions depending on the viewing angle. "Kairagi" refers to the fine crackle patterns created by the shrinking glaze, enhancing the tactile experience as you hold it.

This plate not only elevates the presentation of dishes but also adds a sense of calm and sophistication to the entire space, truly deserving to be called a work of art.

Setoguro

One from one kiln

Setoguro is renowned for its captivating, deep black color. Achieving this beautiful black involves using a glaze made from Oniita (iron-rich clay) mixed with ash. The piece is fired at high temperatures and then removed from the kiln while still hot, followed by rapid cooling—a technique known as "hikidashi-guro." This process was employed over 500 years ago and produced the elusive "Setoguro" ware for only about 30 years in the world of tea. In the tea ceremony, Setoguro is revered for its unique aesthetic value within the Japanese principles of wabi-sabi. By extracting the piece from a kiln over 1,100 degrees Celsius and cooling it quickly, the piece transforms into a deep black while producing beautiful cracking sounds (kan-nyu) as it cools. Only up to three pieces can be fired in one kiln at a time, and achieving a satisfying black is extremely challenging. It is said that getting one satisfactory piece from a single kiln firing is considered a success.
