Works by Kusuo Baba, the second-generation head of the Sh inemon Kiln, which represents Arita ware. The glaze named "G inga" (Galaxy) expresses the mystique of a summer night sky.
Sh inemon Kiln is a leader in the technique of "Yohen," which skillfully manipulates glazes. This piece is created by the current head of the kiln, Kusuo Baba himself. Yohen is a phenomenon where the color and patterns of the glaze change inside the kiln, allow ing one to see the natural beauty and mystique. The glaze used in this piece is called "G inga" (Galaxy), a type of oil spot tenmoku glaze uniquely developed by the Sh inemon Kiln. It is a glaze that expresses the Milky Way, adorn ing the mystical summer night sky. Its deep and serene beauty, rem iniscent of stars sh in ing in the night sky, has been well received. At Sh inemon Kiln, various worlds of the galaxy are expressed by manipulat ing the size, color, and distribution of the G inga glaze's spots. Please enjoy the mystical and fantastical world of the galaxy.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
