Kousai Kiln Green Grapes Hasami Japanese Rice Bowl L
This is a Hasami ware rice bowl made by Kousai Kiln. It is handpainted to bring out the warm texture of the clay. The base of the rice bowl is finished in green with a blue grape and leaf design.
The rough texture of the clay is coated with a glossy, bright glaze that offers different textures. The surface cracks seen on the inside are due to the traditional technique of kannyu (penetration), which allows the user to appreciate the beauty of the handwork.
Different colors of the same design are also available. They are slightly smaller in size. You may purchase them together to make a pair gift or use them as a family item.
Kousai Kiln is owned by Umeno Hirohiko, an artisan engaged in pottery making in Hasami-cho, Nagasaki Prefecture. He trained at a Kiyomizu ware kiln in Kyoto City and opened his own kiln in Mt. Nakao in 1991. He produces unique handmade pottery adorned wiht handpainted designs.
Combining the Shigaraki style yakishime(high-fired unglazed ceramics) and the traditional somenishiki, his unique style is popular for its fusion of stoneware, which is relatively rare for Hasami ware, and the elegance of Kiyomizu Ware style.
