| Black Raku-yaki chawan are certainly some of the most fascinating tea bowls, revered since they were first made in Kyoto, during the sixteenth century, by Chojiro ( ? - 1589) under the direction of the founding father of the Japanese tea ceremony: Sen-no-rikyu (1522-1591). The apparent simplicity of the vessel, free of decoration, dynamism and distinction, embodies the spirit of Zen Buddhism to which it is intimately linked. This particular bowl, a fine example of the timeless beauty of Raku ware, was made at the Katsura-gama (Katsura kiln), established in 1955 in Kyoto, by Higaki Soraku I and his son, the second Higaki Soraku. The chawan is signed and in perfect condition. It will be shipped in a signed wooden box.
