A bowl of color reminiscent of the rich nature seen by Mt. Purple Suimei. The once-in-a-lifetime beauty of nature is expressed by the kiln transformation of the glaze. "Kiln change" is an unexpected change in finish due to the flame in the kiln. We are particular about the preparation of each glaze, and in order to bring out the changes caused by overlapping, it takes three times longer than a normal kiln to cool down slowly. Therefore, it can be used for multiple purposes such as loco moco bowls and soups, regardless of whether it is Japanese or Western. ■ Shinko Kiln The Shinko Kiln in Izumimachi, Toki City, is particular about the handiwork of craftsmen, and all processes are done by the hands and eyes of craftsmen.
