Hidasuki bowl

This is a new Hidasuki (fire-cord) bowl by Takashi Baba, an artist born in Imbe who has loved Bizen ware since childhood and finds joy in creating works and firing kilns. This piece was designed with daily use as the primary focus, pursuing extreme lightness with a restrained design. Because it is incredibly thin and lightweight, it is recommended for those who dislike heavy pottery, yet it features the well-fired Hidasuki characteristic of Bizen ware. The dark brown earthy tone graduates into a reddish-brown, and a deep, flavorful Hidasuki pattern emerges in the white center. As shown in the photo, it can be used for anything, including salads, pasta and other noodles, or fruit.
