Bizen Guinomi

This Guinomi was fired during the final years of Moriyasu Masamune's life.
As a master deeply versed in classical ceramics—especially Old Bizen—this piece reflects his unique ability to interpret and incorporate traditional aesthetics into contemporary work.
It features a slightly low-profile, tea bowl–inspired form, a design often seen in his Guinomi.
The piece combines the powerful, fluid energy of his wheel work with practical ease of use and handling.
Faint traces of liquid clay application (nuritsuchi) can be seen on the body and interior of the piece, beautifully recreating the subdued clay character reminiscent of Old Bizen ware.
The firing has also produced distinctive speckled Kase-Goma, which add a pleasing contrast to the cool, muted texture of the clay.

He was born in 1954 in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture.
He graduated from the Okayama Prefectural Bizen Ceramics School in 1973.
He passed away in 2006.
