Features of the work

"The scene of sunlight streaming onto the rocky surface of a forest after the rain—this is the imagery I sought to capture and express."  
As the artist describes, this Shino flower vase embodies the breath of the earth.

Amidst the silence where the scent of damp earth lingers, the rugged yet profound presence of weathered rock stands firm against wind and rain. This depth of expression is reflected in the powerful texture unique to Mogusa clay. Honoring generations of refined technique and aesthetic sensibility, this piece stands like a great boulder rooted in the land, bringing a commanding presence and quiet dignity to modern spaces.

Its majestic form does more than adorn a room—it resonates deeply with those who observe it. As time flows, shaped by nature’s hands, it reminds us of the strength to endure and thrive, carrying the artist’s wish that it becomes a silent yet steadfast presence in any setting.

Shino

The moment of change

Shino is an elusive vessel that was created for only a brief period in the tea world over 500 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.
