Features of the Work

Yūmine — The Silent Beauty Reflected in the Evening Glow  

As the setting sun gently embraces the mountains, leaving a faint shimmer along the ridgeline, a fleeting moment of tranquility unfolds.  

This Shino Matcha Chawan captures that shifting interplay of light and shadow, with fire-colored hues softly blending into the gentle milky white surface.  

The delicate gradation of the glaze resembles the misty contours of mountain ridges, while the fire-colored accents evoke the final glow of the sun as it fades into the horizon. This quiet warmth and lingering afterimage lend depth to the piece, inviting contemplation.  

The smooth, velvety texture fits naturally in the hand, while the tea reveals a lingering resonance with each sip.  

A bowl that preserves a fleeting moment of light and shadow—imbued with nostalgia and quiet beauty.

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.

Rest for the heart Shino

In today's busy world, it's often difficult to find time to relax. It's important to pause and take time for yourself amidst the hectic daily routine. Why not create moments to enjoy tea or a meal? Shino ware is made from natural clay, and because of its coarse particles, it is said that the "vessel breathes." This is why the entire vessel feels so alive. Its warm touch and gentle feel when it touches your lips provide comfort and help to relieve daily stress. Each piece is carefully crafted with heart by the ceramic artist Kato Takaya to enrich your heart even a little. Enjoy a moment of relaxation and forget the busyness of modern life with Shino ware.
