Description

Kyoto native Ikai Yūichi has trained under the late Shimizu Uichi (1926-2004) who, in 1985, was awarded the title of Living National Treasure for his outstanding work in ceramic making.  And it is from his sensei that Ikai learned the secrets to coaxing subtle hues and fluid effects from the oldest and most rudimentary of all glazes - hai, or ash.

These spouted (katakuchi) bowls are done in an ash glaze which gives them an earthy, organic tenor.  They are used in a variety of ways: for serving stewed vegetables, soups, or salads when that little extra dressing needs to be poured off.
