This handmade rice bowl with a lively crab motif is crafted by Renji Nakagaki, a ceramic artist working in the Mino ware tradition in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. His studio is located in Dachi, a historic pottery village long known for its ceramic heritage.
Nakagaki is known for bringing classical techniques—such as Shino and Oribe glazes—into contemporary tableware with refined aesthetics and excellent craftsmanship. He regularly exhibits his work throughout Japan and is highly regarded by collectors.
This piece is inspired by Kitaoji Rosanjin, one of Japan’s most influential ceramic artists. The bold crab design, painted with traditional iron pigment, stands out beautifully against the soft white Shino glaze. The glaze’s gentle, milky surface adds warmth and depth, enhancing the character of the bowl.
Shino ware originated in the late 16th century as a glaze for tea ceremony vessels and is prized for its opaque white surface and expressive brushwork. Together with Setoguro, it is recognized as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan.
With its comfortable size and well-balanced form, this bowl is ideal for serving rice, as well as small side dishes or desserts. Combining historical inspiration with everyday practicality, it is a versatile piece that brings the richness of Japanese ceramic tradition to the modern see ALL photos, andmessage us, with ANY questions.
