AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Raku Kichizaemon Tea Bowl (KURO-RAKU), the finest Japanese teabowl. Original.
The Raku Tea Bowl is the most sought after since ancient times for the tea ceremony in Japan. Within the Raku-Yaki branch, the Raku Kichizaemon family is the most famous in all of Japan.
Black Tea Bowl signed by Raku Kichizaemon 10th generation, Raku Kichizaemon 10th Tannyū (1795–1854) 十代 楽吉左衛門 弘入, about 200 years old with the original box signed by the seal of his son Raku Kichizaemon 11th, it was common for the son to have the father’s bowls to continue the tradition and have them signed by himself. Within the Raku Kichizaemon family the bowls of the 10th generation are among the most expensive and sought after, closely tied to the Tokugawa shogunate family.
Accepts a gift of a silk Kimono bag to dress the teabowl.
The Tenth Raku - Tannyu (1795-1854)
Tannyu succeeded as head of the family at age 17. He retired at the age of 51 and changed his name to Tannyu, taking the character "Tan" from Soutan of the tenth generation Kyukosai of the Omotesen family. Tannyu and the Kishu Tokugawa family came to have a deeper connection than ever. It is interesting to note that a diary Tannyu wrote at that time, called the "Diary of Tannyu", still remains and contains a detailed account of leaving Kyoto, building the kiln, as well as daily conferences with Lord Tokugawa. Since then, he often traveled to Kishu and when he was 32, he received a signing of the character "raku"; he also served when Kishu Tokugawa, 11th generation, Lord Nariyuki.
It is a Kuro (Black) Raku Teabowl of the highest quality, Original Edo Period!!!, approximately 200 years old. This style of pottery is the most desired for the tea ceremony in Japan. You will be able to perform the most exquisite tea ceremonies in your home.
