Features of this piece
This Shino (志野) tsubo (壺) is banded at its center with a vivid fire color (火色 hi-iro)—the brilliance of earth and sun—flanked above and below by vertical white lines that shift from milky white into fire color and back again. The geometric rhythm captures nature’s transitions: the central fire the passion of earth and sun, the white lines the breath and life of the beings upon it, their crossings a quiet emblem of harmony between land and living things.

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 Tsubo - An Object that Transforms the Room's Atmosphere -
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 vases made by Kato Takaya with rare Mogusa clay capture and express these transformations of Japanese nature as an emotional landscape. Their overwhelming beauty and unique dignity captivate viewers, and the tranquility and tension surrounding the vase create an illusion as if even the flow of time is altered.
