Here is yet another magnificent chawan (tea bowl) by Kato Sho. Few potters have had greater knowledge and technical abilities of this craft.

This wonderful chawan (tea bowl) has the classical look of vessels made during the Momoyama period (1573-1615), which was a golden age for such bowls, sought after by tea masters and warriors alike. This particular piece, which has the distinctive shoe shape of Oribe chawan, was made by a Tajimi potter named Hayashi Eiji, born in 1931. The small town of Tajimi is one of the cradles of Oribe pottery, a 400 year old tradition. Hayashi Eiji is related to the well known Kato Juemon (1894-1974).
