A Guide to Japanese Tableware
What is Yohenkon?
In Japanese ceramics, Yohen (窯変) refers to changes or effects that occur in the kiln during the firing process, often resulting in unique and unpredictable colour patterns on the ceramic item. These effects can include variations in colour, texture, or glaze. Kon (紺) refers to a deep, dark blue colour, similar to navy blue.
Yohenkon would refer to a ceramic piece that has undergone kiln transformations resulting in deep, dark blue patterns or effects. It emphasises the unique and artisanal quality of the item, as no two pieces with kiln transformations will be exactly alike.
