This piece was fired in the kilns of one of Kyoto’s most prolific Raku-yaki workshops by an artist known as Heian Shoraku. In 1905, the first generation Shoraku established a kiln near the famous Kiyomizu temple, nestled at the foot of the eastern mountains in Kyoto. In 1945, the kiln was moved to Kameoka near Yada shrine where it remains today. While not directly associated with the famous Kyoto potting family now in its 16th generation and stretching back over 450 years, this potting lineage has been known to make rather competent Raku-ware. Unlike the historic Raku household however, they tend to produce things on more of a mass scale and much of the work they put out is a far cry from “original” Raku-ware. Occasionally however, if you search long enough you do come across pieces by this potting family that are really quite nice, such as this black tea bowl offered here.
In excellent condition this tea bowl is 4.5 inches in diameter (11.5 cm) and stands 3.3 inches tall (8.5cm). It comes with a signed and sealed original box (tomobako) and a protective wrapping cloth.
*** International shipping and insurance is included in the price
