This exceptional chawan (tea bowl) is yet another splendid example of the high level of craftsmanship of one of Kyoto’s best known raku-yaki potters, Sasaki Shoraku III, born in 1944. It was inspired by a bowl made by an artist named Hon’ami Koetsu (1558-1637) a brilliant craftsman from the early Edo period. The original chawan was given the name “Kamiya”. Here too, the ample volume and free flowing shape with strong and warm colors give a vision of a generous universe. This vessel is a wond ...click for details

This very attractive chawan (tea bowl) was made in the Waraku kiln, located in Kyoto since the latter part of the Edo period (1603-1868). Since the first Raku potter Chojiro (? – 1589) started making bowls for tea master Sen-rikyu (1522-1591), black raku vessels have been a sort of ceremonious patriarchs to tea rooms. The round shape of this particular bowl gives it a softer appeal and once held in the hand, it proves to be a very gentle and warm chalice for the tea ceremony.

This magnificent chawan (tea bowl) was made by Koie Ryoji, one of the best known contemporary Japanese potters. This remarkable vessel, covered with the always fascinating oribe glaze, seems to have been born on the shores of an abundant sea. Its aquatic character is pronounced at the kodai (foot) where two pieces of shell are incrusted amid drops of emeralds. Yet, the abstract markings on the body of the bowl tell of the artists play in its making. They also convey his mastery of the craft, ...click for details

This rare chawan (tea bowl) is a Shodai-yaki (shodai ware). The little known pottery tradition is said to have originated during the early Edo period (1615-1868), in the southern Japanese island of Kyushu, in a small town called Nankan, under the patronage of the legendary Hosokawa clan (one of the current heirs of the Hosokawa name, Hosokawa Morihiro, is a former Prime Minister and a very talented potter). The production of Shodai ware was stopped around the end of the Meiji period and the be ...click for details
