2 pieces set ・Sake cup with golden sunset ・Japanese tea cup ・Fan shape ・Kiln distortion level 3

This sake cup and Japanese tea cup is ground with an electric potter's wheel and finished with a planer to emphasize the traditional Japanese pottery "fan shape". Each one is slightly different in shape and texture. Anyone can bake in a wood-fired kiln. Everyone is unable to manipulate scarlet, draw out the potential of soil, and create a "scenery". Hokekyoan continues to take on the challenge of this difficult task. ■■ Thoughts on this style ■■ At dusk, when the sun sets, the entire sky is golden to madder. Yuhi-yaki is a golden to madder-colored pottery that evokes such a scene. After molding, add feldspar mixed with additives I'm baking with a different methodology than usual. I think it can be said that it is a relative or subspecies of traditional Japanese "Shino ware" in that it is fired with feldspar. ■■Yohen = Allowance of chance=Natural style■■ As a kiln transformation element, 1. Sunset on a cloudy day 2. Sunset on a sunny day 3. Sunset still high 4.The setting sun Suppose you have a width of at least 4 axis elements. Plum blossom skin and crutches grow, and the more you use it, the more the flavor comes out. It is also a pottery that is “fun to grow”. *Shino ware: Beginning in the Middle Ages and the Momoyama period in Japan, it was once discontinued, Traditional Japanese pottery revived in modern times by Japanese craftsmen's highest ranking "Living National Treasure" Toyozo Arakawa, the first white pottery made in Japan * Plum blossom skin: The texture that gradually appears on the surface of the vessel ※Cracks on the surface of the vessel due to the difference in shrinkage rate between the clay and the glaze ■■ Wabi Sabi = Growing up = Aging ■■ Japan's climate and climate are high in humidity and not ideal for "things". Sen no Rikyu's "Wabi-Sabi" is the answer to such a bad situation, which he nurtured with his wise worldview. All things will decay and return to the earth. Putting ourselves in this world for a while, how we "exist" in the world reflects our "mind" in dealing with things. The work we delivered is an "unfinished living pottery" whose cracks (penetration) and dirt (plum blossom skin) seeps in the more it is used, and which is used and maintained to create a tasteful atmosphere. * In Japan, there is an evaluation that things are “tasteful”. The original meaning of this alludes to the "personality of the user" of "how it was used" and "how it was raised". Touch the heart of "Wabi-Sabi", which transforms even the contradictory concept of "be clean and dirty" into beauty, and complete it with your own hands to create a special gem just for you. ■■ “Management innovation” promoted by “Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry” ■■ Hokekyoan's pottery has been certified as a "management innovation" promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. I use a unique technique called "pointillism hanging" and "extreme reduction oxidation removal". This "title" is given to "techniques and techniques" rather than "things". ■■Product standards and manufacturing methods■■ Material Pond bottom soil Technique Lathe wheel ➔ Scraping off Size about diameter 6.5cmX height 4.5cm Weight about 100 grams Capacity about 80cc Yohen Level ★★★☆☆ ■■Explanation of kiln transformation level■■ There is no same thing as one, and although it is my subjectivity, it represents the atmosphere of the kiln transformation level.

Even with the same baking, each one has a different personality. It is said that uncalculated and unexpected factors, such as the location in the kiln, the season, atmospheric pressure, soil and fire, and other mysterious chemical changes caused by chance, produce a single piece of art as a result. The spirit of craftsmanship, which allows for chance, is gaining recognition and admiration for its style reminiscent of the mountains and rivers of nature.
