Description from the seller
Takayoshi Zemon IX Ryonyu-made inscription tea bowl with a matching box CUENCO DE TÉ (KURO-RAKU), The best Tea Bowl Cawan of Japan. Original!!.
The Raku tea bowl has been the most sought after since antiquity for the tea ceremony in Japan. Within the branch (Raku-Yaki), the Raku Kichizaemon family is the most famous in all of Japan.
Tea bowl signed by Raku Kichizaemon 9th generation (Ryonyu), with original box and stamp seal by the craftsman; this is very rare to find and highly coveted. Accepts a gift of a silk kimono bag for the bowl.
It is a Kuro (Black) Raku Tea Bowl of exceptionally high quality, Original Edo Period!!!, approximately 230 years old. This style of ceramics is the most desired for the tea ceremony in Japan. You will be able to perform the most exquisite tea ceremonies in your home.
Ryonyu inherited the head of the family at 15. From that moment he led a long life crafting ceramics, until his death at age 78. (1756 - 1834).
He received great help from the Senke school, particularly from Sotsutakusai, the leader of the eighth generation of Omotesenke. Ryonyu laid a firm foundation for the Raku family and would eventually earn praise from people for restoring the family to its former glory. It was Ryonyu who revived the school after the misfortunes that befell his father and brother.
Ryonyu focused on scraping with a spatula, one of the unique features found in hand-formed bowls, and sought a form that the spatula could create. The name "Gandoken" was bestowed upon Ryonyu and the Raku Tea House by Ryoryosai, the head of the ninth generation of Omotesenke, and later in his life Ryonyu adopted the alias of Ryojorojin (the old traveler).
A collectible item, for Tea Houses, Exhibitions, Museums or prestigious private collections, undoubtedly an impressive item, Original 9th Raku Kichizaemon Tea Bowl.
Nowadays drinking Japanese Matcha tea is in fashion. This will be a luxury within reach of very few people.
The bowl is very sound and strong, built to last another 250 years. It has an aura that transports you to ancient Japan during the Edo period.
This original and very distinctive tea bowl, heavy, shows the marks of the artist’s scraping. The black glaze is bright with burgundy red tones.
