AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Katō Sekishun – Raku Tea Bowl “Misty Pines and Mt. Fuji”
This exquisite Raku tea bowl is crafted by the renowned Japanese ceramicist Katō Sekishun. The bowl’s soft ochre-colored clay evokes a serene pine forest shrouded in morning mist, with an abstract depiction reminiscent of majestic Mt. Fuji rising in the distance. The subtle crackle glaze adds depth and texture, reflecting the gentle interplay of fog and mountain shadows, giving the bowl a natural, poetic presence.
The ochre hue of the bowl makes it ideal for use in tea ceremonies or as a contemplative display piece. Importantly, the bowl bears Sekishun’s signature “Sekishun” seal, a mark of authenticity and a testament to the craftsmanship of this remarkable artist.
Tea bowls by Katō Sekishun are generally black, so a bowl with this ochre color is quite rare.
The photos have been taken both with and without flash, so you can see the actual color and texture more accurately.

About the Artist:
Sekishun Katō (born 1868) was a celebrated Japanese ceramicist, highly praised by Taisuke Itagaki, who gave him the artist name “Sekishun.” In 1914, he established the Raku kiln within the Nagoya ware tradition and later founded the Karasumori Raku kiln. Sekishun was renowned for his unique “Tatsuta-nishiki” glazing technique, characterized by vivid colors and a deep luster. His works are highly valued for their distinctive texture, beautiful coloration, and intricate design, holding an important place in the history of Japanese ceramics.
