The crystal pattern like a snowscape that appears on the white, fine-grained, translucent and beautiful porcelain surface. The luster and delicacy that seems to represent the aesthetic sense of the Japanese people is fascinating to the heart. The beauty of the pure white and unadulterated white Tenmoku never fades, and even after the passage of time, it still has an overwhelming impression. It is a work of high perfection that stimulates the senses of the people who hold it.
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.
