Celadon porcelain is a type of pottery produced by reduction firing (firing with less oxygen), which produces a blue color from the iron-containing glaze. Among them, the jade-colored ware produced in the Longquan kilns in Zhejiang Province, China during the Southern Song Dynasty was called Kinuta celadon in Japan. In the past, Chinese emperors considered the clear blue of the sky after the rains had passed to be the best blue, and had their potters fire celadon in the Ru ware kilns, the official kilns of China. The deep celadon porcelain of the Shinemon kiln grows in taste the more it is used.
The shape "Tenmoku" comes from a vessel made in China. During the Kamakura period (1185-1333), Japanese monks who had studied at the temple of Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang Province, China, brought back to Japan tea bowls called Tenmoku tea bowls, which were highly prized. This type of tea bowls had been produced in China in large numbers and at one time reigned on the throne of Chinese tea bowls, and is characterized by a low, small ring on the bottom, a mortar-shaped body and a neck on the mouth rim. The Tenmoku-shaped tea bowl by Shinemon, which is a smaller version of this bowl, is very popular.
