山下寛兼さんの碗です。

鉄釉を施して焼成したのちに、籾殻の中に埋めて低温度で焼くことによって炭素を吸着させ深みのある金属感がでています。また長石の含んだ荒い土を使用しているので
間からガラス質のプチプチが表出しています。

サイズ：直径約8.5cm×高さ約4.0cm
容量：八分目で約60ml

佐賀県で作陶する山下さんの作品達。
主に手捻りで作られる柔らかいカタチ。そこに何度も本焼きと研磨を繰り返し生み出される多層的な色味と質感が合わさり、ゆっくりと呼吸する、まるで自分達とは別の世界で生きているような生物のように感じます。

This is a bowl by Hirokane Yamashita.

After being fired with an iron glaze, the piece is buried in rice husks and fired again at a low temperature; this process allows the clay to absorb carbon, resulting in a deep, metallic quality. Additionally, the use of coarse, feldspar-rich clay causes tiny, glassy speckles to emerge across the surface.

Dimensions: Approx. 8.5 cm (diameter) x 4.0 cm (height)
Capacity: Approx. 60 ml (filled to 80% capacity)

These are works by Yamashita, a potter based in Saga Prefecture.
Characterized by soft forms created primarily through hand-building, these pieces feature multi-layered colors and textures achieved through repeated cycles of high-temperature firing and polishing. They seem to breathe slowly, evoking the feeling of living creatures that exist in a world apart from our own.
