Description
This is a Bizen ware *hobin* (teapot without a handle) by the master craftsman Nishimura Shunko, who brought a light of hope to Bizen during its era of hardship. The small, hand-formed shape is highly intricate, speaking to the high level of Master Shunko’s technique. While the undulating body is designed to fit the fingers comfortably for easy handling, the craftsmanship remains refined with no sense of distortion. Its austere firing finish is also a highlight, offering a traditional, understated aesthetic.
Please note that this item does not originally come with a pamphlet (shiori) or a decorative cloth (tomonuno).
*There is a small chip on the edge of the lid.
Original wooden box (with two-way struts)
Diameter 8.5cm x Diameter 7.9cm x Height 7.7cm
Master Nishimura Shunko was born in Kyoto in 1886. He came to Imbe in 1909 and built a kiln. Based on traditional spatula techniques, he was acclaimed as a master of decorative pottery, known for his sculptural sensibility and methods. He was a holder of the Art Preservation qualification.

During the Special Army Maneuvers in 1930, he was commissioned to create the "Kibi Seven Lucky Gods," which were presented to His Majesty the Emperor by Okayama Prefecture. He was also honored with awards at craft exhibitions sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. He passed away in 1953.
