Sueki Akayaki Tea Bowl Kofun Period/250-581CE

Sue ware is a blue-grey hard earthenware that was introduced from the Korean Peninsula in the middle of the Kofun period (early 5th century). In Japan, until the beginning of the Kofun period, pottery such as Jomon pottery, Yayoi pottery, and Haji pottery were made using a method similar to open burning. It had the drawback of becoming brittle over time. Sue ware, on the other hand, is made using a potter's wheel and fired at a high temperature in an anagama kiln, so the shape is thinner, neater, and harder. However, since it is vulnerable to heat, it was mainly used for tableware and storage tools. This is a bowl-shaped Sue ware with a rare red burn. You can feel the movement of fire, wind, and iron in the primitive form and appearance of Sue ware. Is that the reason why wild flowers look good on you?
