Bizen rice bowl

These new Bizen rice bowls by Go Kaneshige mark a new stage in his career following the completion of his anagama kiln in Kukui. Reminiscent of yamajawan (mountain bowls), these stacked-fired pieces feature a somewhat soft, strongly red-hued clay texture. Their simple, quiet form would also make an interesting choice for whisking tea as a small chawan. Given the nature of the softer clay, the color is likely to change significantly with continued use.
