About Ninsei-Style Pottery

Ninsei-style ceramics are inspired by the work of Nonomura Ninsei, a celebrated 17th-century Kyoto potter known for his elegant forms, refined glazes, and colorful overglaze decoration.

This tea bowl combines the traditional beauty of Kyoto ceramics with the gentle symbolism of the sheep, creating a meaningful piece for seasonal tea gatherings.
