Kagayou (ka-ga-yō) shino is the most recent addition to
Suzuki Tomio's expansive glazing repertoire. It was born from a single creative
impulse - to bring together a number of elements from different shino
techniques and present them all in a multi-layered collage on clay. After months of trial and error,
he has created a new
signature glaze that beautifully melds the citrus peel texture of
classical shino, hints of aka shino's rust reds, and the shimmering
quality of his yohen-kin (golden) shino glaze.
The results of Mr. Suzuki's efforts are proudly displayed here in this
resplendent set of kagayou shino plates. Both beautiful and
functional, it promises to attract quite a
lot of attention and admiration from honored guests. Ideally suited
for serving side
dishes and desserts.
