Description
This is a newly fired Kuro (black) small bowl by Masao Akiya, who studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and creates highly original works with a fresh and distinctive spirit.
This is one of his latest works, newly fired in February 2026.
It is made using the Kuro-Bizen technique inherited from his master, Jun Isezaki, and the black surface is especially attractive, combining a deep luster with a warm tone.
A special clay collected in areas such as Osafune, near Bizen City, is applied to the surface of the piece after being mixed with a small amount of cobalt, producing a stylish and richly profound black finish.
At the same time, the center of the interior has intentionally been left uncoated to preserve the Hidasuki, enriching the pleasure of using it as a vessel.
This small bowl is versatile enough to hold a wide variety of foods, from colorful side dishes, salads, and fruit to sweets and ice cream.
He was born in Saitama Prefecture in 1968.
He became a disciple of Jun Isezaki in 1998.
He built his own kiln in 2008 and became independent as a ceramic artist.
