This elegant Mino Shino tea bowl was crafted by Fifth Generation Kosaburō of Kikyōya Kiln, a respected pottery studio dedicated to preserving the traditions of Momoyama-period Mino ware. The bowl features a warm iron-red Shino glaze flowing beneath soft white feldspar, creating a richly textured surface characteristic of classic Shino ceramics. Gracefully painted white herons stand among stylized waves, evoking tranquility and the quiet beauty of the Japanese landscape. The gently irregular form, subtle kiln effects, and natural glaze variations embody the aesthetic of wabi-sabi, where simplicity and spontaneity are celebrated. Complete with its original signed wooden box (tomobako) and documentation, this tea bowl is a refined example of contemporary Mino craftsmanship rooted in centuries of Japanese tea ceremony tradition.
