About the Artwork
This tea bowl represents a new realm of possibility for Daido clay—a material I have spent decades exploring since my youth.
During the high-fire process, trace amounts of iron within the self-refined Daido clay reacted with the alkaline components of the white glaze, creating a "landscape" of soft, scarlet hues.
The expansive, outward-spreading rim is a form specifically designed for exhibition, capturing the raw energy of the potter's wheel while maintaining a profound sense of tension within the stillness.

Techniques Used
Hagi ware
Hagi ware is a type of pottery predominantly made around the cities of Hagi, Nagato, and Yamaguchi in Yamaguchi prefecture. Vessels are made with Daido clay, Mitake clay, and Mishima clay. The resulting stoneware is rarely decorated with motifs, as the texture and qualities of the clay are key points of visual interest that appeal to tea ceremony practitioners.
