We have received a Bizen natural nerikomi (kneaded clay) tea bowl by Fumio Kawabata.
The gentle appearance of the coil-built form and the unique, washi-like texture create a magnificent presence.
His natural nerikomi technique, which utilizes several types of clay, is truly unique and can be considered Mr. Kawabata's hallmark.
Above all, the contrast between the blazing fire-cord (hidasuki) markings and the intense, crusty ash glaze (kasegoma) leaves a powerful impression on the viewer.
