Kinkamon is a glaze that expresses the golden world illuminated by the sun, and when you look at it, you will feel as if you have achieved the glory of this world. This type of crystalline glaze, which produces beautiful and mysterious patterns in the glaze, was discovered by accident during firing at the Royal Kilns in France and developed. Although it is an extremely difficult technique to achieve stable firing, the Shinemon kiln has succeeded in commercializing it as a work of art for everyday use. The bright yellow color with a reddish tint is reminiscent of gold, and it is an excellent product that is favored as a gift.
The shape "Tenmoku" comes from a vessel made in China. During the Kamakura period (1185-1333), Japanese monks who had studied at the temple of Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang Province, China, brought back to Japan tea bowls called Tenmoku tea bowls, which were highly prized. This type of tea bowls had been produced in China in large numbers and at one time reigned on the throne of Chinese tea bowls, and is characterized by a low, small ring on the bottom, a mortar-shaped body and a neck on the mouth rim. The Tenmoku-shaped tea bowl by Shinemon, which is a smaller version of this bowl, is very popular.
