Yanashita Hideki Oribe Bowl

Dimensions: 25 x 20.5 x 5.5 cm (width x depth x height)

Stoneware

This bowl was hand-built by the versatile ceramicist Yanashita Hideki. Yanashita owns several kilns in which he primarily fires tea ceramics in the Raku, Ido, Shigaraki, Iga, and Shino styles. This bowl is stylistically Oribe in character. The style is known for the partial application of a green glaze in combination with underglaze paintings. Yanashita is an enthusiastic admirer of pieces from the heyday of tea culture, which is why striking similarities can be found in pieces such as this one.
