This ｔea ｂowl was withdrawn from kiln while still burning. The texture of the tea bowl turns to black by cooling it suddenly. Process of rapidly cooling could damage the tea bowl and only small percentage of production survives to make it to end product. Crack left during the cooling process forms a unique pattern on the tea bowl. The end product creates a coloring similar to that of black and red wine. This is the work of solid temperaments with many unique feature. It is a strongly recommended art piece. /Taijiro ITO Bizen Gallery Aoyama	Shiro TSUJIMURA  Biography １９４７  Born in Nara １９６５  Intended to be a painter ( oil painting ) １９６９  Started his independent study of ceramics １９７７  First Solo Exhibition in Nara １９８４　Presented fifty white slipware teabowls at MOA Museum, Atami １９９３  Solo Exhibition at Japan Art, Frankfurt, Germany Built a kiln in U.K. １９９４  Solo Exhibition at Gallery Besson in London, U.K. １９９９  Solo Exhibition of Jars and Teabowls at Chado reserch center gallery, Kyoto ２００３  Solo Exhibition at a gallery in New York, U.S.A.
