The tradition reached Japan from China by way of Korea, where this maker trained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze lies pale and translucent, threaded with kannyu (貫入), the fine network of cracks that forms as glaze and body cool at different rates. The chawan is wide and low — just over thirteen centimeters across — and holds matcha (抹茶) against a quiet, even green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cwr-acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAbout the artist\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHiroyumi Suzuki (鈴木大弓, b. 1981) was born in Sendai and trained in Korea before setting up his own kiln in Shigaraki in 2009. In 2016 he moved to Iga, in Mie, where he works today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside Korean-rooted wares — kohiki (粉引), mishima (三島), hakeme (刷毛目) — he turned to celadon and porcelain from around 2017. His work is shown at galleries including HULS Gallery in Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cwr-acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCare\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse with warm water and dry on a soft cloth.
