Here is another fantastic chawan (tea bowl) by Unokawa Kazumasa. This spectacular vessel is gem from space, a kind of meteorite which contains the entire universe, true to the nature of the chalice of the Japanese tea ceremony as a microcosm; it is of today yet timeless.
These days, Unokawa Kazumasa makes his chawan (tea bowls) using only his hands; without a potter’s wheel. This approach allows him to produce vesse ...click for details

This wonderful chawan (tea bowl) was made by Watanabe Aiko, one of the few contemporary Japanese women potters. Although her work is based on traditional shapes and techniques, her sensibility and mark can certainly be felt and recognized. The natural texture and patina of her potteries gives them an attractive antique feel and a noble character. The enchanting pool of bidoro (vitrified ash glaze) inside this particular bowl is reminiscent of the serene ponds of Zen gardens; an beautiful invi ...click for details

This remarkable chawan (tea bowl) was made by a potter named Udagawa Hijitani, born in 1940. The vessel seems sugar coated in a silky immaculate robe that gives it a sweet and generous character, and in the hand, its smoothness enchants. Yet, at the kodai (foot) the apparent clay shows its firmness and the strength of its base. Would this bowl be a bride, it could bear a dynasty.

The classic looking vessel comes with its shifuku (pouch), an essential protection, as well as its tomobako (companion box). The lid is made of ivory, and its bottom is covered with a golden leaf.

This is a very attractive mizusashi (water jar). Its auburn iron tones make it look like a rusty medieval armor, as the relief could mimic battle blows. In a chashitsu (tea room), its use might echo the phantomatic presence of feudal warriors, adepts of the tea ceremony, who once sought the sanctity of those spaces to share tea, even with their enemies.
The jar was made by a potter named Toraku in a little known st ...click for details

This very charming chawan (tea bowl) was made by a Hagi potter named Tamamura Shogetsu. The bowl’s shape is reminiscent of the hemispherical vessels created by Raku-yaki genius Hon’ami Koetsu(1558-1637). The very feminine form is soothing to the touch and the famed white silky Hagi glaze dresses the chalice in the most sensuous way. This bowl will certainly bring a peaceful mood to its user.

This fantastic chawan (tea bowl) was made by Suzuki Tomio, a well known contemporary Shino potter. It is a very strong piece, from the mouth to its kodai (foot), and probably one of his masterpieces. The vessel sits on a solid base, which defines the powerful balance of the whole body, bright and still radiating the fire that made it in spirit and flames. In it, it seems the universe is still being born. Used as it certainly should, this chalice will inspire and reenergize. ...click for details
