- The sculptural beauty of straw-glazed ware that makes you want to touch it

Tanba Ware White Glazed Ware is an impressive piece with its three-dimensional, sculptural form and the unique texture of the straw white glaze. The architectural, towering form and the beauty of the surface created by the white glaze never fail to captivate the hearts of those who see it.

Straw-white glaze with a milky, viscous feel

The straw white glaze applied to this piece has a soft, rich texture, as if milk had been poured into it, and creates a smooth white surface. The black spots and unevenness of the glaze that naturally appear during the firing process create a rich expression where no two pieces are the same. The texture, which seems to be somewhere between glossy and matte, changes subtly depending on the viewing angle and the amount of light, giving it visual depth.

The texture and shape make you want to touch it

This straw white glaze ware is full of charm that makes you want to reach out and touch it. The unevenness of the surface, the light and dark shades of the glaze, and the natural texture of the clay all combine to evoke the urge to not just look at it, but to actually pick it up and feel its texture. The form, composed of square pillars nestled together, is linear yet soft, boasting a high level of beauty in both visual and tactile aspects.

A bold composition and delicate expression

The delicate expression of the straw white glaze is in harmony with the powerful and towering composition. The slight cracks in the glaze, the bleeding of iron, and the natural spots that appeared by chance during firing give the work depth and elegance. This sense of balance is the result of the sensibility and technique unique to Nishibata Tadashi, and brings a quiet emotion to the viewer.

A presence that brightens up any space

This straw white glaze ware has an overwhelming presence in teahouses and modern spaces. Its sculptural form and the serenity of the white glaze blend into the space, yet it also draws the eye and creates a tranquil and rich atmosphere.

Beauty and power born from master craftsmanship

This piece by Nishibata Tadashi is infused with advanced molding and glazing techniques cultivated over many years of study. Every detail is carefully calculated, from the layering of straw white glazes to the way the natural expression is brought out by the firing, but ultimately it represents the essence of pottery, which is to leave it to the fire and the clay. The "beauty" born from this control and chance is a fusion of craftsmanship and artistry.
