A magnificent chawan (tea bowl) by Shimizu Keiko. The vessel resplends in the immaculate glaze that characterizes the legendary beauty of white Hagi tea bowls. The silky veil leaves the clay bare at the kodai (foot) in a sensuous movement that is remindful of the feminine form and profound symbolism of such chalices. Shimizu Keiko is an expert at crafting white tea bowls. He was born in 1940 in Hagi and studied with legendary Living National treasure Miwa Kyusetsu XI. In 1983, he founded hi ...click for details

This wonderful chawan (tea bowl) is yet another great piece, made by a well known Hagi potter named Shimizu Keiko, who has become famous for his immaculate kohiki bowls. Kohiki ware has a rich iron based clay, which has been covered by a white slip, then a translucent glaze. It has its origin in Korea, like many Japanese pottery traditions; in Japan kohiki tea bowls were revered by the warrior tea men of the Momoyama period (late 16th century). The soft, snow like quality of the white glaze into ...click for details

This splendid chawan (tea bowl) was made by a Hagi craftsman named Umeda Toraku. The very well made vessel stands strong on a powerful kodai (foot) and a four hundred year old tradition. It presents some of the most recognizable features of Hagi ware: the soft, peachy glaze with fine cracks, revered incidents which give the bowl its unique character and will tell its story from now on, as it goes through the seven lives of a Hagi chawan.

Here is a splendid chawan (tea bowl), another great example of the classic beauty with a vibrant sense of modernism that Hagi vessels possess. The fine kanyu (cracks) are a wonderful feature on this bowl, and add a sense of depth to the elegant silky white robe of the chawan. In its bottom, the spiral reminds us of the cosmic aspiration of the vessel and at the kodai (foot), the apparent clay reveals its hidden coarseness without chastity and reminds the viewer of its rustic yet noble origin.

Black chawan (tea bowls) are some of the most cherished vessels for the tea ceremony. A pool of emerald tea resting in the dark space that shapes the bowl is always a mesmerizing spectacle that invites to deeper contemplation. Seto-guro (black Seto) chawan, like black Raku tea bowls, lend themselves well to the noble tradition of the tea ceremony. This particular chawan was made by a potter named Sugiura Yoshiki, born in 1915, in Aichi prefecture, the cradle of Shino pottery. He studied with ...click for details

This chawan (tea bowl) has the apparent sober look of an ascetic monk, yet it shines with a perfect sense of balance and purpose. The dark robe of the vessel still lets through a bright aura and it is at the kodai (foot) that one may understand the nature of the ordained vessel, which almost looks like a shell and seems to mirrors nature itself. In that small shaped space, harmony reigns supreme. The chawan was made by a potter named Sono Ari, born in Tokyo in 1937. After having studied Seto ...click for details

Here is a very well made Hagi chawan (tea bowl). The classic shape and soft shades, familiar to Hagi wares, have contributed to making it one of the most recognized and appreciated forms of Japanese pottery. The slightly coarser texture of this particular bowl is a welcome feature that gives it a more rustic and sober edge, reminiscent of the characteristics of some of the older Hagi vessels. The bowl was made by a potter named Mizuo Hosetsu, a little known Hagi artist, who celebrated his 50 ...click for details

This chawan is a simple yet attractive Shino tea bowl. Shino pottery has been made since the end of the sixteenth century mainly as a ware to be used for the tea ceremony. The dynamic and often voluptuous qualities of Shino vessels make them some of the most favored by pottery enthusiasts. The yuzuhada (lemon skin) is also a much appreciated characteristic of Shino, and this particular chawan seems to be the ultimate proof of it.
The bowl was made at a kiln named Toyama-gama; unfortunately, ...click for details
