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.

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.

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
