AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jōzan-gama 城山窯 – Hagi Ware Chawan – With Original Wooden Box and Leaflet
This Hagi ware tea bowl was produced at Jōzan-gama (城山窯), a kiln located in Hagi, Japan, known for preserving traditional Hagi pottery techniques while incorporating refined contemporary aesthetics.
The bowl embodies the characteristic softness and absorbent clay body typical of Hagi ware. Its subtle crackled glaze (kannyū) and gentle transitions of earthy tones reflect the quiet elegance associated with Japanese tea ceremony utensils. Natural kiln effects are visible around the foot, adding depth and authenticity to the piece.
Hagi ware is celebrated for its evolving surface, known as “Hagi no Nanabake” (the seven transformations of Hagi), where the porous clay gradually absorbs tea, enriching its color and character over time.
This piece comes with its original wooden box inscribed “城山” (Jōzan) and an explanatory leaflet, confirming its origin from Jōzan-gama.
Produced at Jōzan-gama kiln in Hagi, Japan. The kiln is known for works supervised by Kaneko Nobuhiko, while individual pieces may be created by craftsmen working under the kiln.
