Tadashi Ito (伊藤正) - 茶碗 - 质朴的日本茶碗，Chawan - 瓷器 - 茶碗

この expressive chawan (tea bowl) by Japanese ceramic artist Tadashi Ito (伊藤正) is characterized by its powerful, deliberately unrefined form and richly textured surface. The thick, irregular walls and gently undulating rim emphasize the tactile presence of the clay, giving the bowl an almost sculptural quality.
The exterior remains predominantly earthy and rough, with scattered pale markings and natural variations created through the firing process. In striking contrast, the interior is covered with a deep, dark glaze ranging from black-brown to subtle olive tones. This contrast between raw exterior and glazed interior creates a quiet but compelling visual tension.
Its asymmetry, rugged texture and restrained palette embody an aesthetic closely associated with Japanese tea ceramics, where irregularity and traces of the making process are appreciated as essential elements of the work.
A distinctive contemporary Japanese tea bowl combining functionality with a strong sculptural presence.
