An Oni-Shino Chawan (鬼志野 茶碗)
Showa Era (1926–1989)
About the work
A bold and visceral chawan (tea bowl) in the Oni-Shino style by Tsukigata Nahiko, one of the most distinctive and powerful voices in postwar Japanese ceramics. Known for his deeply spiritual and explosive approach to Shino ware, Tsukigata’s work is celebrated for its intense surface character and metaphysical energy.
This tea bowl features a voluminous, almost architectural form with an assertive foot and dramatically contoured rim. Its surface is cloaked in a thick white feldspar glaze, crawling and breaking over iron-painted underglaze designs.

Footnote
Tsukigata Nahiko was a pivotal figure in postwar Japanese ceramics, especially within the Shino revival movement. Born in 1923 in Gifu Prefecture—the heartland of Mino ware—he was instrumental in the development of Oni-Shino, known for its fiery, elemental aesthetic. Nicknamed “The Potter of Flame” and “The Monk Potter,” Tsukigata’s work spans ceramics, painting, calligraphy, sculpture, and seal carving. He passed away in Toki, Gifu in 2006, leaving behind a profound legacy in modern Japanese ceramic art.
