Nezumishino is a traditional Mino ware technique that dates back to the Momoyama period, and is characterized by the contrast between the deep brown color of the iron glaze and the grayish-white color of the feldspar glaze. The surface features a powerful depiction of a pine tree, expressing the natural beauty of Japan and the aesthetic sense of wabi-sabi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The rustic texture that makes the most of the earthenware, along with the flow of the glaze and natural color changes that occur during firing, make each piece valuable as a one-of-a-kind piece. While the piece has a neat, rectangular form, the subtle distortions and expressive glaze that are unique to handmade pieces create a warm, non-mechanical finish. Crazing (cracks) that develop over time are also part of the charm of this antique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e Recommended usage and applications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs tea ceremony utensils, they can be used for serving kaiseki cuisine (traditional Japanese cuisine) or hassun (a small serving of rice).
