KAY37Bizen-yaki 'chawan', tea bowl used in traditional Japanese tea ceremony, created by Touhou (Touhou Kimura)
Touhou was born in Showa 2 to one of Bizen's 6 noted families, 'Toushou-en'.

Bizen is one of the '6 Old Kilns' of Japanese yakimono-pottery. There is not one Bizen that is identical to another. Pine logs are used for the kama-kiln-in which the yakimono are cooked for 10 to 2weeks. They are each one-of-a-kind, as colors and patterns will differ depending on where they were placed inside the kama. No glaze is used for a Bizen, and its earthy, natural and coincidental characteristic (wabi-sabi) is highly appreciated throughout Japan.

Price: $260.00
