Moguse clay soil is a little soil with iron, baked on a purple or pinkish base of clay, a thick glaze called Feldspar glaze crushed a thick glaze thickly, and a beautiful Shino tea bowl is completed. It seems that the glaze skin of the old Shino tea bowl has many small intrusions, yuzu skin, small holes.
Also, it seems easy to get scenery scenery on the glaze side and the rim with less glaze. Shino tea bowls are produced which control the thickness of the glaze well and draw a beautiful contrast between red and white.
