Description
Yoshiteru Takariki’s new Bizen kiln-variation Guinomi, freshly drawn from the kiln in September 2025.
True to his fearless, push-the-heat firing style, the exterior develops a charcoal-black ash accretion (Kigoma) that reads almost like compressed carbon.
While Takariki-san typically centers his blends on field clay with a touch of mountain-soil clay, this piece leans a bit further toward the mountain-soil side, successfully generating a deeper, more saturated scarlet clay color. The hue is distinctly refined—subtly matte, free of any garishness—reflecting his teacher-driven creed of putting clay preparation first and achieving an elevated, dignified palette.
The broad, deeply undercut foot—evocative of Sozan Kaneshige—anchors the form with quiet authority, and at fifty, Takariki-san’s mature technique shows with striking clarity.
