Oni Hagi Chawan by Kawano Satoshi

This chawan (tea bowl) is a magnificent representative of one of the most spectacular genres of Japanese pottery: Oni Hagi (devil Hagi). That style was made popular by Miwa Jusetsu (the eleventh Miwa Kyusetsu), born in 1910, who has become Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure) of Japan. This particular bowl was made by a potter named Kawano Satoshi, and it presents all the fantastic characteristics of the genre: the immaculate and tortured white glaze on a dark body which culminates at the impressive kodai (foot). The deformed shape of the bowl gives it depth and an even more theatrical feel. The chawan is signed and in perfect condition. It will be shipped in a signed wooden box. Dimensions: 12 cm x 9.5 cm (4.8 in x 3.8 in); weight 400g (14 oz) More pictures available on demand. Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question.
