-----------------------
Works by the late Shinichiro Baba, the first-generation Shinemon and predecessor of the Shinemon Kiln, a representative kiln of Arita ware.The rare glaze known as 'Kinbeni-Tenmoku' is used, resulting in a captivating and deep finish that reveals more the longer you look at it.
The current Shinemon Kiln is a leading authority in the Yohen technique, which skillfully manipulates glazes. This piece was created by the previous head of the kiln, the first-generation Shinemon, together with the second-generation Shinemon (Kusuo Baba), as they continually challenged the world of glazes. The first-generation Shinemon, who once frequently used traditional Arita techniques such as sometsuke (blue and white porcelain), created this ambitious piece as he pursued his own unique vision, focusing on glazes.

 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. |
