Mino Ware – Ryōji Hayashi – Shōzan Kiln – Vermilion Shino Matcha Bowl
We are pleased to introduce a Shino-style matcha bowl from the Shōzan Kiln of Ryōji Hayashi, a renowned craftsman of Mino ware.
Among the many distinguished types of Mino ware, Shino-yaki holds a special place as one of its most iconic styles—one rarely seen in other pottery regions of Japan. When it comes to Shino ware, the Shōzan Kiln of Ryōji Hayashi is particularly famous.
There are various types of Shino ware, but this tea bowl is known as “Vermilion Shino” (Aka-Shino). Its color tone lies between Red Shino and Crimson Shino—lighter than the former and deeper than the latter—creating a rare and exquisite hue that is seldom encountered.
The soft reddish-brown color exhibits beautiful variations in shade, enhancing the natural warmth and character unique to handmade pottery. The surface displays countless pinholes characteristic of Shino glaze, while flowing white glaze and complex kiln effects add depth and visual interest.
You can see the artist’s finger marks left during glazing, which form part of the piece’s “scenery.” Subtle traces of the potter’s wheel remain, and vertical trimming marks are visible throughout, creating a pleasant texture that fits comfortably in the hand.
The bowl has a cylindrical form with a straight rim and moderate depth—an ideal size that rests naturally in the palms, combining both balance and strength.
This Vermilion Shino matcha bowl is a truly remarkable and highly valuable example of refined Mino craftsmanship.
