Kyo-yaki (京焼) - Hozan (寶山) - Tefat - Leire

Denne Matcha-tebollen er et eksempel på Kyo-yaki, spesielt laget i den hedrede "Kenzan-utsushi" (Kenzan-stil kopiering) tradisjonen. Den bærer merket Hozan (寶山), et navn knyttet til en langvarig slektslinje blant Kyotos pottemakere.

[Artistic Style: Kenzan-utsushi]
The design pays homage to the legendary Edo-period artist Ogata Kenzan. The characteristics of this style are beautifully captured in this piece:

Overglaze Enamels:
The bowl features vibrant, hand-painted enamels. The contrast between the warm, creamy base and the colorful motifs is a hallmark of Kenzan’s aesthetic.

Symbolism:
It is decorated with Paulownia (Go-san-no-Kiri), a symbol of high rank and auspiciousness, and Karakusa (Arabesque) vines, representing longevity and prosperity.

Kannyu (Crackled Glaze):
The surface is covered with a delicate web of fine cracks, a traditional technique that adds depth and a "wabi-sabi" vintage character to the bowl.

[Concept: Beauty in Daily Life]
While Kyoto produces many museum-grade masterpieces, this bowl represents the best of "applied art"—high-quality craftsmanship intended for practical use. It is lightweight, perfectly balanced in the hand, and designed to bring the refined atmosphere of the Japanese tea ceremony into modern daily life.

[Condition]
The bowl is in excellent vintage condition. There are no chips, cracks, or restorations. The colors remain bright and the structure is sound.
