Yu-Ting Chiang 江有庭

Yu-Ting Chiang has dedicated himself to the Tenmoku chawan since 1984. He went from not
knowing anything about Tenmoku, to creating Tenmoku, to finally altering Tenmoku. In 1995,
with the power of fire, he discovered the multicolored Tenmoku. The multicolored Tenmoku
is fired with a single layer of iron oxide glaze. The colors that develop include red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, golden, silver, and multi-colored. The color and patterns
can transform in a million ways with the intensity and angle of the light, as if performing a
heavenly dance hidden in the world of the bowl. It was thusly given the name Hidden-Colored
Tenmoku.
Chiang characterizes his ceramic craft as the “Art of Firin”. It’s an art of energy conversion,
an art of “do nothing”.
江有庭自1984 年開始專攻天目茶碗，從不知天目到燒出天目再變化天目，在1995 年藉著
火的力量，發現古今中外未曾出現的「彩色天目」。彩色天目係以單味氧化鐵，採單掛釉方
式製燒而成，燒出的色彩包括紅、橙、黃、綠、藍、靛、紫、金、銀、多彩等，其色澤與紋
樣隨著光線的強弱與照映的角度而變幻萬千，猶如來自蒼穹的耀動，「藏」在茶碗世界中，
遂得「藏色天目」之名。江有庭將自己的陶瓷工藝定義為「燒藝」，是能量轉換的藝術，是
無為法的藝術。
