Wood Fired SUZUyaki Vase Shinohara Takashi First Firing 珠洲柴焼 SZ601

Beautiful, gentle form, richly colored by natural ash glaze with magnificent flowing patterns shaped by the flame.
This piece was fired in the very front row of the first firing after the kiln’s rebuilding, where it received the strongest effects of heat and wood ash, as seen in the kiln interior photo in the follwoing blog.

This piece is richly covered with natural glaze that melted and flowed at high temperatures. As shown in the photos, some glaze pooled at the base, adding to its unique charm and highlighting the beauty of natural kiln effects. It has a slight unevenness at the base, but it stands straight and does not lean.

You can use as Flower vase, Kensui (Koboshi) for your tea table.

Shinohara Takashi's kiln collapsed in the major earthquake of January 1, 2024, and was later damaged by flooding before finally being rebuilt in October 2025. Firing in a first kiln is always unpredictable, yet Mr. Shinohara achieved a work of exceptional beauty—a truly commemorative piece.
