Hitoshi Morimoto Shirahana Vase 25-09

Product Details

These Shirahana vessels feature a soft ivory tone achieved through a distinctive firing technique. Shirahana, meaning "white flower" in Japanese, refers to the delicate stoneware created through high-temperature reduction firing. The matte, slightly textured finish reveals the natural character of the clay, while the faceted construction creates clean geometric lines. The result is forms that feel both contemporary and rooted in ceramic tradition.

Morimoto works in the half-century-old kiln built by his father, producing both traditional unglazed Bizen ware and glazed pieces that bring together regional techniques. The clay is sourced from local historic fields, maintaining the direct connection between material, place, and the craft that has shaped this community for over a millennium.
