Hence the name for the style of pottery that Shino Munonobu favored. Shino is a firing method for daytime purposes Unlike Black Tenme, its glaze color is based on white feldspar glaze The emergence of Shiro Shino is an epoch-making innovation in the history of Japanese ceramics During the late Muromachi period Two white tea bowls held by the great tea master Takeno Shoou One of them reached the Kaga Maeda family There is a sign written by Sen no Rikyu in the box that says "Shaoou and Baimeime". The other one was later owned by Toyotomi Hideyoshi Although these two have different appearances, But they all have the same white glaze mixed with a little gray. The Shino of the Momoyama period also had the same white glaze. **The perfect interpretation of wabi-sabi aesthetics** wabi sabi is a thing that is not perfect Immortal and unfinished beauty That is the beauty of prudence and humility It is also a kind of spontaneous beauty that does not follow the rules. - Leonard Koren https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4815/31216576347_2c58846d37_b.jpg Wood-fired pottery in use and vision It is rough and warm The beauty we pursue lies in nature, simplicity and solidity The completion of a wood-burning work Much reliance is placed on the potter's physical strength in making pottery and firing kilns.
