This is a work by the predecessor and first-generation master of Sh inemon Kiln, Sh inichiro Baba (posthumously Sh inemon), one of the representative kilns of Arita ware.
It is a masterpiece matcha bowl, traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony.
Sh inemon Kiln is renowned as a pioneer in the yohen technique, which requires exceptional skill in manipulat ing glazes. This piece was created by the first-generation master dur ing the period when he and his successor, Kusuo Baba, were establish ing the kiln’s identity with yohen works, mak ing it a rare and precious creation. Yohen refers to the transformative phenomena that occur with in the kiln, where the glaze’s colors and patterns shift unpredictably, reveal ing natural beauty and mystery.
The glaze used here is called k inhana-mon (“gold-flower pattern”), celebrated for its crystall ine formations resembl ing golden blossoms. This glaze is achieved by blend ing various metals into the mixture and fir ing it, produc ing golden-brown speckles across the surface. The effect is one of radiant golden flowers bloom ing across the vessel. Elegant and ref ined, the k inhana-mon glaze imbues the bowl with a noble and dignified atmosphere, perfectly suited to the spirit of the tea ceremony.

 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. |
