Description from the seller
Chojiro Toyobo Utsushi Kuro Chawan 長次郎 東陽坊うつし黒茶碗（ちょうじろう とうようぼううつしくろちゃわん）｜Sasaki Shoraku 佐々木昭楽（ささきしょうらく）
This black Raku tea bowl by Sasaki Shoraku, a Kyoto-based Raku ware master, is a highly accomplished utsushi faithfully recreating the Important Cultural Property black tea bowl known as Toyobo
Renowned as a refined reproduction, this work conveys the spirit of the tea ceremony through balanced form, restrained presence, and the quiet depth characteristic of Kuro Raku chawan
Shoraku’s tea bowls are valued for their excellent heat retention and lightness, making them suitable for both daily practice and formal tea gatherings
Among tea utensils, black Raku bowls are especially appreciated for enhancing the vivid green of matcha, a quality that has long made them indispensable in the tea tradition
Sasaki Shoraku was born in Kyoto in 1936 and is the third-generation head of Shoraku-gama, a Raku kiln established in 1905
This work dates from the late 20th century and represents the continuation of classical Raku aesthetics within contemporary Japanese tea ceramics
