Yasuo Terada (Terada Yasuo) Seto-Hagi Hakeme Tea Bowl, Signed, Tomobako / Japanese Tea Ceremony Chawan This is a tea bowl (chawan) by Yasuo Terada, a ceramic artist born in Seto, Aichi Prefecture, in 1948. It is finished in a “Seto-Hagi Hakeme” style, with bold brush-stroke (hakeme) slip work. Features The exterior and interior have a deep purple-brown glaze with a Hagi-like softness. Sweeping hakeme brush strokes in warm ochre-orange show through the glaze. White glaze drips run along the lower body and foot, giving a lively contrast. The unglazed, sandy foot shows the natural clay texture. The brushwork inside the bowl differs from the outside, so it is interesting to view from every angle. Artist Yasuo Terada (Terada Yasuo) was born in 1948 in Seto, Aichi Prefecture, into the family of the Bizan Pottery, a long-established Oribe kiln. He graduated from Tama Art University (Sculpture Department) in 1973 and won the Grand Prix at the Asahi Ceramic Art Exhibition in 1982. Besides tea ceramics and tableware, he is known for his gold-drop (kinteki) works, and his pieces have been shown at galleries in Japan and overseas. A printed career leaflet is included.
