Its wide-open form and surface completely marked by the fire are closely connected to the original aesthetics of Echizen-yaki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior of the bowl is particularly expressive. Light beige, ochre, and gray tones flow seamlessly into darker brown areas. In the center, a dark, almost fan-shaped firing mark stands out, while stronger ash deposits and darker zones have formed at the rim. This gives the surface an almost landscape-like appearance, changing its character depending on the viewing angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior also clearly documents the course of the wood firing. Reddish-brown clay meets dark, partially glossy areas as well as yellowish-olive ash deposits. Small mineral inclusions and the visible throwing marks emphasize the original character of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pronounced foot ring shows several light spots where the bowl rested during firing. Such marks are directly part of the firing process and make the position of the vessel in the kiln traceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo decorative glaze or painting is used. The actual design is created by the interplay of clay, flame, heat, and fly ash in the \u003cem\u003enoborigama\u003c\/em\u003e. As a result, this Chawan has a lively, non-reproducible surface and embodies Kitajima Shigemitsu's traditional approach to the ceramics of his home region of Echizen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Namiyosegama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55107494936905,"sku":"Shigemitsu Chawan 8","price":140.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9851\/3737\/files\/LP140156.jpg?v=1787229446","url":"https:\/\/japankeramik.de\/en\/products\/kitajima-shigemitsu-chawan-1","provider":"Japan Keramik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
