Within the kiln, flames dance, leaving trails of fire that rise and fade into milky white. A vase where fire’s memory and serenity coexist, shaped by the art of firing.

Shino Matcha Bowl

As autumn deepens, the leaves slowly change color and eventually drift down, gently spreading across the thin layer of water. They ripple slightly before blending into the meeting point of water and earth—a quiet moment of stillness.

Shino Vase

A river shapes the land, its traces softening over time. At sunset, light shimmers for a moment.

Can this beauty fit in a vessel? After illness, I took on the challenge again.

What do you see?

The name “Bokka” (Ink Blossom) reflects the way ink spreads on paper, evoking flowers in full bloom. Setoguro’s unique kairagi texture emerges from the interplay of clay, glaze, and fire, creating a beauty beyond calculation.

The fire-kissed hues and soft white glaze evoke a couple’s journey—calm days, challenges, and quiet trust growing over time.

I hadn’t planned it, but after firing, these feelings naturally appeared in its form.

I hope this piece brings quiet beauty to your shared moments.

Shino ware uses an “underpainting” technique, where iron glaze patterns under the milky white glaze create soft contrasts and depth. Firing blurs and blends colors, adding unique charm.
