The Artistry of Shino Ware

Embrace the timeless beauty of Japanese craftsmanship with our exclusive Shino ware tea bowl, a symbol of the rich cultural heritage that thrives in the heart of Gifu Prefecture. Each bowl is a testament to the traditional techniques that flourished during the Momoyama period, an era renowned for its artistic innovation. The characteristic feldspar glaze bestows a serene white canvas, evoking the pure essence of nature and the artisan's delicate touch. Ideal for the revered tea ceremony, this piece not only represents the zenith of functional artistry but also serves as a bridge to Japan's storied past.

Chawan Artist: A Legacy in Clay

Crafted by the hands of a master artist, this Chawan, or tea bowl, is inscribed with the kanji for "Fukuju," meaning "Many merits that bring happiness," a wish that is imparted with each use. The artist's dedication to form, balance, and the tactile experience brings forth a unique vessel that is not just a tool for tea but a work of art to be admired. With its origins in the tea-centric culture of Japan, this tea bowl carries with it the spirit of Zen and the pursuit of tranquility. Accompanied by a wooden box, the tea bowl is protected and presented with the respect it deserves, ready to be cherished for generations.
