Shiro Tsujimura’s Oribe Kuro Chawan embodies the artist’s instinctive, unrestrained approach to form and surface. Hand-built and fired to achieve a deep, lustrous black glaze, the bowl displays a powerful sense of movement in its softly distorted silhouette and subtly irregular lip. A pronounced ridge encircles the body, creating a visual rhythm that highlights the vessel’s asymmetry while revealing traces of the artist’s touch. The interior, with its pooled glaze and gentle spiral impression, invites contemplation of both texture and shadow.
