At the foot of Mount Horai, just a short distance from Lake Biwa, Shiro Shimizu has established his kiln.

Guided by his philosophy of “never buying clay, but digging it myself,” Shimizu-san creates everything from tea ceremony wares to sculptural objects, allowing the character of the earth itself to guide the work. We are deeply drawn to the powerful, distinctive expressions that emerge from this intimate relationship with the soil.

This tea bowl embodies the vitality of the raw clay from which it was made, its generous form imbued with the quiet strength created through the interplay of earth and fire.

The rich warmth that can be felt as it rests gently in the hands, together with its deep and nuanced surface, brings a profound sense of depth and pleasure to the experience of tea.
