Chawan (茶碗)
This is a Bizen ware tea bowl which Mori-san has created.
Firing in the climbing kiln. It's placed near the main stock hole.
This is where ashe from the split wood often fall and the good scene shows up.
He used the skill called fuseyaki, and the bowl was upended to get such kind of smoked design.
And the color has developed brightly at the bottom of inside the tea bowl.
Height : 7.2 cm
Diameter : 12.8 cm
It's been over fifty years since he started making Bizen-yaki. He thought up the idea of a twice baking method to bring out a changeable black color.
