| Description of works | The artist who produced this tea bowl, SUZUKI Osamu, was designated a “Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Heritage” in the category of “Shino (ware)” in 1994. It is a bold, strong piece with a broad hip, finished with an effective use of kezuri (trimming). SUZUKI was born in Toki City in Gifu Prefecture in 1934. After working for a ceramic studio in his hometown, Tajimi, he launched his own kiln in 1966 to devote himself to Shino ware. The history of Shino ware dates back to the end of the 16th century CE during the Momoyama period. Made of the mogusa clay unique to eastern Mino, they are fired after being coated with choseki-yu (feldspar glaze). SUZUKI created his works using traditional Shino techniques. However, he also invented a new firing method using a gas-fired kiln, at a time when it was believed that all Shino ware had to be wood-fired. |
