志野焼抹茶茶碗。有本空玄作
A Grey Shino tea bowl by Hiroshima-based ARIMOTO Kuugen. Shino only requires 3 things: rare white mogusa clay, feldspar for the glaze and a very long, slow firing and cooling. Until age 28, Arimoto was a systems engineer with no interest at all in ceramics. Then one day he saw a Shino bowl and dedicated his energies to mastering this very difficult ceramic form ever since.
