Mr. and Mrs. Shinohara have created their own styles by working in several different ceramic traditions throughout Japan.
Kiseto, Hakeme, and Kohiki are their main styles, which they work in to create beautiful products that can be used in everyday life. Their main goal is to bring the many styles of Japanese ceramics to everyday life, such as their "Small Chawan," which is typically used for matcha but can be held in one hand to enjoy Japanese tea, while feeling the style of a large Chawan used in the tea ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Shinohara from Kyoto, blend many regional Japanese ceramic styles in their work. The Shinoharas are both graduates of a traditional art school in Kyoto. Takashi Shinohara worked in Arita (Saga Prefecture), Seto (Aichi Prefecture) and Kyoto, his wife Megumi worked in Hasami (Nagasaki Prefecture), in 2016, Takashi and Megumi moved to Kyoto and began making their own ceramic products from the knowledge and experience they gained.
The result of their work is a blend of several regional Japanese ceramic styles, with extensive training in the Aritayaki, Setoyaki, and Hasamiyaki ceramic styles. Mr. and Mrs. Shinohara creates their own unique glazes and clay textures based on their previous experiences. For example, Kiseto is normally a smooth and glossy texture, but they gave Kiseto a rough, matte texture with the feel of river rocks worn by years of flowing water.
From their creative use of traditional ceramic styles, unique pieces for everyday use have been born.
