Vase “Kurenai no Michi” — the Crimson Road. A single path drawn within a tenmoku (black) glaze, heading toward a crimson peak.

Mountains, a Recent Theme
Among Shinemon’s recent works, pieces on the theme of mountains are often to be seen.

Wheel and Glaze, Mastered
Completed through consummate skill with the difficult traditional potter’s wheel and with glaze, this work gives off a high dignity and a solid presence, and its noble beauty never ceases to move us. A work of high difficulty that only Shinemon, with fifty years as a craftsman, could make.

A Longing for the Mountains
This is a complete one-off work, in which Shinemon threw his yearning toward the mountains straight into a vase. Because it can never be obtained again, it is a single piece of exceptional rarity. We would be glad if you would take in its worth and its beauty for yourself.

Handmade, Without Transfers
