Features of this piece
A pair of Shino chawan: one bowl fire-red, one bowl white. The mouths are the same width; one bowl stands a little taller, the other a little lower. From the same clay and the same kiln, yet with entirely different faces.
One bowl is fire-red all over, with milky white running down from the rim — the colour of the sky at sunset. Look inside and the interior is fire-red to the bottom.
The other is covered in milky white, with dark flecks scattered across it: stones left showing in a field of snow. Inside, a single expanse of white, where the green of matcha shows exactly as it is. For two people, or for guest and host, facing each other over a bowl of tea.

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.
