Hand-formed during the Taisho period, this piece bears the name \"Tatsuta Nishiki\" and exudes an elegant charm evoking the image of autumn leaves scattering in the Tatsuta River. Its irregular, four-sided form defies orderly beauty, concentrating on the spirit of wabi-sabi. The matte surface characteristic of black Raku ware reveals the shifting pale colors of the kiln-fired ware, creating a scene reminiscent of stars floating in the night sky. It comes with a box, conveying the piece's origins to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e detail\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eKato Sekiharu was a potter active in the Mino ware region, where he studied the techniques of Raku ware and established his own unique style. Raku ware, considered the pinnacle of tea ceramics, was founded by Chōjirō under the guidance of Sen no Rikyu in the 16th century. It is characterized by hand-molding and low-temperature firing. This black Raku tea bowl's unique, curved form is carefully designed to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand. The subtle kiln changes visible on the surface are a result of the accidental chemical reaction between the flames and glaze during firing, and no two pieces are alike. The inscription \"Tatsuta Nishiki\" evokes the image of autumn leaves coloring the river surface, creating a poetic quality that enriches conversations at the tea ceremony. Embracing the atmosphere of the Taisho era, this tea bowl retains its beauty even after nearly 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e Recommended uses\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor those who practice the tea ceremony, this tea bowl is not only a practical tool for daily practice and tea ceremonies, but also an important object that deepens one's spirituality. The process of picking it up, preparing the matcha, and bringing it to one's mouth offers a tranquil moment of communion with the artist's heart. For tea ceremony utensil collectors, this Raku ware piece from the Taisho period holds great historical value, and storing it in its original box makes it a significant cultural asset to be passed down to future generations. Displaying it in the alcove of a Japanese-style room will harmonize with seasonal flowers and hanging scrolls, bringing a dignified atmosphere to the entire space. It also makes a wonderful gift for those new to the tea ceremony, offering a valuable opportunity to deepen their learning through encountering this historic piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e Interior coordination proposals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e [Japanese modern style]\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy combining a simple bamboo flower vase and an old lantern in a traditional Japanese room with tatami mats and shoji screens, you can create a tranquil space that embodies the aesthetic of wabi-sabi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e [Minimalist style]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e By displaying it as a one-of-a-kind ceramic piece in a modern space with white walls, you can create a sophisticated look that incorporates traditional Japanese beauty into modern living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e About quality and condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Since this is a reused item, it may show signs of wear compared to a new item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e There may be repair marks or color unevenness due to aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e There may be small scratches or scuff marks due to use, but this will not affect use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e There may be slight differences in color tone between the photo and the actual product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/search?q=%E5%8A%A0%E8%97%A4%E7%9F%B3%E6%98%A5\u0026amp;type=product\"\u003eOther \"Kato Ishiharu\" products are here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/search?q=%E3%80%8E%E6%A5%BD%E8%8C%B6%E7%A2%97%E3%80%8F%E7%AB%8B%E7%94%B0%E9%8C%A6\u0026amp;type=product\"\u003eClick here for other \"Raku Tea Bowl\" Tatsuta Nishiki products\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"アンティーク・リユースセレクトショップ Fynd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544928551193,"sku":"FYND-0001747","price":99800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/7106\/8953\/files\/20251024153758_p8029_result.webp?v=1761378543","url":"https:\/\/fynd-jp.com\/en\/products\/reuse-chawan-kato-ishiharu-rakuchawan-tachita-nishiki-taisho-era-kurogaku-shikata-chawan","provider":"アンティーク・リユースセレクトショップ Fynd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
