Kuro Guinomi

He presents his work in two ways: traditional Bizen ware style and black style.
This Guinomi is made in black style.
This Guinomi was fired by him in March 2022.
It is a technique involving the application of mud containing a small amount of cobalt, which has been popular since 2000.
Black-style pieces feature a beautiful, roughly glossy black clay color and bright cobalt blue fire patterns.
However, in this Guinomi, the black has transformed almost entirely into indigo, which is quite unusual.
The black color remains in the base, and in areas where the clay is thin, a beautiful black hue can be seen.

He was born in 1970 in Fukuoka Prefecture.
He became a potter in Okayama Prefecture in 1991.
He has been a disciple of Yuichi Yamamoto since 1995.
He became independent as a potter in 2001.
