-----------------------
Works by Kusuo Baba, the second-generation head of the Shinemon Kiln, which represents Arita ware. The glaze named "Yume" (Dream) features a black-brown base with red overlay, expressing passion and hope.

Shinemon 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, allowing one to see the natural beauty and mystique. The glaze used in this piece is called "Yume," and it expresses various kiln effects while exploring techniques that subtly change the color, shades, and gloss. The sake set includes a tokkuri (sake bottle) that is rare among Shinemon's works, featuring a vertical design. This vertical impression of the tokkuri enhances its image of "authenticity" and "luxury."

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.

Sometsuke wares are made by drawing patterns with a blue pigment called GOSU, applying glaze over the surface, and firing the porcelain.   Hakuji wares are mede by applying transparent glaze over a white surface and firing the porcelain.   Akae, or Iroe, wares are painted in many colors, including red, the predominant color, green, yellow, and cobalt blue.
