The Tanba black glaze tea bowl by Ichino Shinsui (the second generation) is a masterpiece that inherits the traditions of Tanba ware while having its own unique style. This tea bowl stands out for the beauty of the black glaze and the beauty of the clay, and has a luxurious feel that is unique in Tanba. Ichino Shinsui learned from the first Shinsui and is renowned as a leading expert in tea ceremony pottery who has mastered the essence of tea utensils.

The tea bowls by Ichino Shinsui are characterized by their simple and tasteful design that incorporates modern aesthetics while preserving the traditions of Tamba ware. When you pick one up, you will feel the warmth of the clay and a sense of comfort in your heart.

The rich shapes are realized by the outstanding potter 's wheel techniques inherited from the founder Shinsui. The craftsmanship, which is particular about every detail, is simple at first glance, but has a deep appeal.

Commitment to clay making and firing Ichino Shinsui has a strong commitment to clay making, and fires his pottery in climbing kilns and anagama kilns. As a result, the subtle colors and textures that are born from the firing process bring even more warmth to his pieces. The flavor deepens with each use, making them pottery that can be used for a long time.

This particular piece is a matcha bowl with many interesting features, including the remaining shell patterns. The simple yet profound design is soothing, and the warmth of the clay, created by the outstanding potter's wheel technique, is gently conveyed.
