http://artisjapan.site/default.asp?action=1&num=12416 This refined ceramic bowl by Asano Masaru exemplifies a quiet dialogue between structure and glaze. The exterior is carved with evenly spaced fluting, accentuated by subtle iron-red lines that rhythmically follow the form, giving the vessel a tactile presence in the hand. Inside, a soft celadon glaze pools gently toward the center, revealing fine crackle and tonal variations that speak to careful kiln control. The contrast between the cool, translucent interior and the earthy, stone-rich clay body creates depth without excess ornament. Balanced in proportion and restrained in color, the bowl reflects Asano’s sensitivity to material, surface, and everyday use—an object equally suited to contemplative display or functional enjoyment, embodying the modern continuation of Japanese ceramic tradition. Mashiko ware originates from Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture, and is closely associated with the Japanese mingei (folk craft) movement. It values honest materials, functional forms, and the natural beauty of clay and glaze, often characterized by earthy bodies, simple shapes, and expressive surface textures shaped by hand and fire.
