This splendid chawan (tea bowl) is one of the new pieces fired by Ema Hiroshi in the spring of this year (2009). Looking at this new series of works, it seems clear the potter has tamed Someya pottery; an orphan tradition whose secrets of production he had to unearth and master alone. Someya-yaki (Someya ware) is born again, through the dedication of the artist, and reveals itself to be one of the most authentic pottery styles; without pretension, yet solid in its rusticness, true to the esthe ...click for details

This exquisite small chawan (tea bowl) was made by a potter who has influenced contemporary Japanese pottery like very few others; Kitaoji Rosanjin (1883-1959). Rosanjin devoted his entire life to the studies of art and the creation of beauty and was an accomplished artist whose work encompasses many genres of fine arts from calligraphy to ceramics. In the case of pottery, it is said that whatever Rosanjin would made could be used for the highly refined Japanese tea ceremony. The simplest of ...click for details

This splendid chawan (tea bowl) made by one of the masters of Hagi pottery, Kaneta Sanzaemon (1920-2004). The silky glaze with shades of soft purple veils the famed red clay of Hagi, whose pottery has been revered for centuries by tea masters and drinkers alike. Here again, the sensuality of Hagi ware is revealed in the most sublime way.
The name Sanzaemon has been associated with Hagi pottery since1817 when the first Sanzaemon founded a kiln, called Tenchozan-gama in the city of Hagi. This ...click for details

This remarkable 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. Its dynamic shape, molded by the potter’s hands (and not on a wheel), makes it a very sensuous and energetic vessel, and the hints of fiery red accentuate its character.
The Shoraku kiln has been producing raku wares for three generations, and its bowls are widely used by practitioners of the tea ceremony across J ...click for details

This beautiful chawan (tea bowl) was made by a potter named Sawada Hidekazu, born in 1923.

The bowl presents some of the great characteristics of Shino ware: a soft glaze scattered with su-ana (nest holes) and iron oxide markings, and a flowing sha ...click for details

This splendid chawan (tea bowl) was made in the Waraku kiln, located in Kyoto since the latter part of the Edo period (1603-1868). The mouth of the bowl presents the characteristic go-zan (five mountains) shaped mouth, in reference to the five main Zen temples of Kyoto (Tofuku-ji, Tenryuji, Shokokuji, Kenninji and Manjuji, with Nanzenji as the head temple); it is a feature often seen on Raku bowls, but not exclusively.
The dark patches on the red body of the bowl create a spectacular keshiki ( ...click for details

This magnificent chawan (tea bowl) was made by a potter named Choshun Taizan, born in 1976. It is a solid piece from a relatively young potter. Choshun Taizan learned pottery from his father Choshun Tenzan, born in 1949, a descendant of the Ogasawara clan of samurai of the Shinano province (current Nagano prefecture). He started studying the craft at the age of 8 and in 1992 received the name Taizan; his real name is Takenaka Sokichi. Choshun Taizan’s kiln, named Ko-gama, is located in Fukuo ...click for details

This beautiful chawan (tea bowl) is a very well made vessel. The two markings on its shomen (face), one stronger than the other, seem to define the balance of the entire cosmos, in the simplest way. They also illustrate the relationship between all the elements of the Japanese tea ceremony room, in which everything maintains that sense of harmony: host and guest, fire and water, light and dark, large and small... The bowl bears the seal of a potter named Iraku, who is not well-known. Yet, th ...click for details
