Hidasuki small tea bowl

This *hidaski* (fire-cord) small tea bowl is from Yoshinobu Morimoto’s latest exhibition. It embodies a lively, spirited form that leverages the sensibilities he has refined through his ongoing input and output of classical Bizen pottery. The bowl is hand-formed and then faceted, creating a deeply flavorful texture that makes the coarse clay appear to rise to the surface. The striking *hidaski* landscape, achieved with a special clay, stands out against the body as if it were fluorescent. Designed as a versatile small bowl, it can be used for café au lait or matcha, and can even be repurposed as a serving bowl. Signed wooden box (shiho-zan)
Diameter 10.3cm x 9.9cm x Height 7.7cm
