A meteor shower flows towards the silver galaxy in the bowl, like the infinite stars shining. This is a miraculous representation of the night sky in nature.

The Beauty of the Shimmering Silver Galaxy, With Colors That Shift Like the Cosmos
The beauty of this bowl is like the shining stars that continue to sparkle, adorning the silver galaxy. The swirling night sky of nature could also be seen as blooming flowers. The crystal patterns in the bowl's interior form cosmic motifs that appear in various colors, such as white, purple, and deep blue, depending on the angle.

A Carefully Selected Piece, Born of Miraculous Firing Techniques
This mysterious and beautiful pattern was achieved through trial and error in the formulation of the glaze and firing methods. The change of color in the glaze occurs miraculously due to the subtle differences in the kiln’s temperature and humidity. For this reason, Shin'emon always operates kilns that can finely adjust the firing temperature and reduction process. Out of over 1000 pieces fired, only 1 or 2 are successful. Only the finest pieces selected by Shin'emon will be delivered!
