Dosen Kiln (道泉窯) - Juitsu Kato (加藤寿逸) - Tea bowl - Clay

A Japanese Seto-ware Matcha tea bowl titled "Hakuyusai" (White Glazed / 白釉彩), crafted by the ceramic artist Juitsu Kato (加藤寿逸) of the historic Dosen Kiln (道泉窯) in Seto, Aichi Prefecture.

[About the Artwork]
This stunning chawan showcases the artist’s mastery over glaze and form. Titled "Hakuyusai," the bowl features a beautiful, warm, and semi-translucent white glaze (Hakuyu) applied over a meticulously shaped clay body. The gentle flow and subtle variations in the glaze texture capture Kato’s signature theme of "Sei to Do" (Stillness and Motion). The form sits comfortably in the hands, offering a tactile and spiritually grounding experience essential for the Japanese tea ceremony (Chado).
