kowari tetsuya (b. 1970)

The first Shino ware was developed during the Momoyama period (1568–1600), in kilns in the Mino and Seto areas. The glaze, composed primarily of ground local feldspar and a small amount of local clay, produced a satiny white color. It was the first white glaze used in Japanese ceramics. Wares decorated with Shino were fired in the Anagama kilns used at that time. Anagama kilns were single-chambered kilns made from a trench in a hillside that was covered with an earthen roof.

His kiln is called Mushin-gama, in Fujinomiya, in the prefecture of Shizuoka, a city located at the foot of the western slope of Fujisan.
