A spectacular chawan (tea bowl) made by a potter named Hirose Tanga, born in 1939. Hirose’s kiln, called Tenpozan-gama, is located in the city of Hagi.
The strong body of the bowl is covered by a milky brown robe with pink and violet undertones. Silky in some places and rougher to the touch in others, the vessel is well balanced in shape and texture; a true chalice for the tea ceremony where all the elements of t ...click for details

This fabulous chawan (tea bowl) is part of a series of 20 Raku bowls made by Suzuki Goro in 2006. It was a first (and maybe a last) for the potter who is better known for his Mino wares. Suzuki Goro is a potter’s wheel prodigy who has attained the highest levels of knowledge of his crafts. But recently, he sometimes put the wheel aside and lends his hands more creative freedom to feel and shape his work. As Raku wares are hand formed, they are an ideal new way of expression for the prolific ...click for details

Here is yet another splendid chawan (tea bowl) by Unokawa Kazumasa. The finely crackled glaze of the bowl mirrors the elegant robe of classic celadon wares and gives it its noble character. The appellation “Tenmoku” originally refers to the shape of the bowl first made near Mount Tien-mu (Tenmoku, in Japanese) in China and brought to Japan by Japanese Buddhist monks who had studied there. The bowls were used as rice bowls by the Chinese, but were much prized by the Ashikaga Shoguns and gained ...click for details

This superb chawan (tea bowl) was made by Unokawa Kazumasa, a potter whose works have a strong connection with the cosmos, inside, where the viewer can feel pulled into the infinite, deep blue space, and outside, which seems to mirror the raw texture of extraterrestrial rocks. Unokawa Kazumasa is a master of the rigorous Tenmoku pottery, and has veered to work more freely on “gensai” (beautiful black) pieces, with which he can better express his poetry as a true artist. ...click for details

Looking inside a Tenmoku chawan (tea bowl), made by Unokawa Kazumasa, is like glazing deep into the cosmos. There one can understand the meaning of microcosm and ask whether one is looking inward or outward; probably both. No wonder the Ashikaga Shoguns prized these bowls; rulers of the earth they could also feel they held pieces of heaven.
Unokawa Kazumasa, born in Nara in 1952, not far from Kyoto, is a master crafts ...click for details
