A handsome set of seven Japanese red and black mokuzuke - the tops done in shiny black roiro and the bottoms done in red lacquer. On the bottom of four of the bowls there is a design in makie gold of a bamboo shoot. The seven dishes measure 4 1/2" diameter and are 1" high. The dark black would have been a lovely contrast to the raw fish normally used in the mokuzuke serving. We date these to the mid Taisho to early Showa period, circa 1925-1950s. They are in excellent condition. A Mukozuke is a small dish used in the Japanese tea ceremony. Color in mukozuke is a consideration in relation to the food served. Most commonly, the muko course is one of delicate raw fish, so a garishly colored dish does not always complement, while light, earth or neutral colors do. Now known as the mukozuke course. the food most often served for the mukozuke is raw fish with a tart sauce and a contrasting vegetable, with grated wasabi. |
