Description from the seller
item description
本文は以下のとおりです。
This is a Nezumi-Shino (grey Shino) horse-trough-shaped (uma-darai) tea bowl by Yamaguchi Jōtetsu, a ceramic artist from Mino–Seto Akazu. Yamaguchi Jōtetsu is a kiln name passed down through generations in the Seto–Akazu region. This work is covered in a traditionally soft grey Nezumi-Shino glaze, displaying a landscape where the glaze breaks away to reveal white feldspar-like patches, as well as star-shaped incised line patterns encircling the body. The foot ring is left unglazed to expose the clay body, showing swirling trimming marks and the artist's seal pressed into the centre of the base.
uma-darai (horse-trough) form is a traditional shape long known in Mino–Seto tea ceramics. Its broad, shallow profile and subtly warped rim give each bowl its own distinct character, lending an atmosphere well suited to seasonal tea gatherings.
This work comes with a tomobako (a wooden box inscribed in the artist's own hand) and is a highly practical piece intended for actual use in the tea ceremony.
Artist Profile
Yamaguchi Jōtetsu is a kiln name passed down through generations in a ceramic lineage in Seto Akazu spanning more than 300 years. The first generation received registration for the preservation of traditional techniques in 1948. The second generation (1920–1999) learned the art of pottery under his father, received recognition as a Traditional Craftsman, and was commended by the head abbot of Nanzen-ji in Kyoto. The third generation, born in 1955, trained under the second generation, likewise received recognition as a Traditional Craftsman, and specialises in tea ceramics centred on Oribe, Ki-Seto, and Shino wares. Akazu ware, which encompasses these glazing techniques, was designated a Traditional Craft of Japan in 1977.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
