Shino ware is a type of Mino ware produced in the southeastern part of Gifu Prefecture. This type of pottery ware was usually decorated with underglaze iron painting and covered with white feldspathic glaze. The Shino kiln produced tableware which included mainly tea ceremony utensils. – Quote from A Dictionary of Japanese Art Terms
Kobayashi Takeharu born in 1944 in Toki city, Gifu.
He started his own kiln, Chikuyo gama in 1970.
He got the Toki city award in 1974.
He is one of very famous modern Shino artists especially Nezumi, Murasaki, Hiiro and Akebono Shino.
He studied and researched Shino ware by himself and he developed his own technique about Shino ware.
