Black ‘Kuro’ Bizenyaki by Kobashi Toshimitsu of Mu Gen An.
This ‘Kuro’ or ‘Black’ style tea cup is styled semi randomly with spots of wood ash, vaporized rice straw, and smoke ‘damage’ (from the wood) in the kilning process.
It would seem that this black bizen style is what Toshi is becoming known for.
This is the last black cup I have from the 2021 batch. I would love for you to see it in person if you’re interested.
