The Shinogi technique is a traditional Japanese pottery method in which vertical grooves are carved into the surface of a ceramic piece. The carved ridges create a textured surface and distinctive linear pattern.

Handcrafted by Japanese Potter Masami Sunata, who lives in Yamanashi Prefecture. His kiln name is Suõyõ (沙鷗窯),  the theme is it brings a sense of color every day of life, and it stays close beside you. Due to the organic nature of making this type of porcelainware, each piece is slightly different from piece to piece.
