Bizen Ware Chawan Matcha Tea Bowl by Hozan
Why We Love It
This authentic matcha bowlĀ is presented in a custom-made wooden box, signed by the artist, making a truly unique gift for any matcha lover.
Bizen ware is one of the most remarkable Japanese pottery. Usually not glazed,Ā Bizen-yakiĀ has aĀ naturalĀ appearance. The rusticity ofĀ Bizen-yakiĀ has been appreciated for centuries for itsĀ wabi sabiĀ nature: unique, austere, imperfect, gaining charm and beauty with time and use.
Inside the ancient cave kiln, pine tree ash flies and sticks to the clay, adding a natural glaze to the surface. The glossy and granulated ochre accent of thisĀ chawan matcha bowl is namedĀ gomaĀ (č”éŗ», lit. āsesame seedsā) and is a distinctive feature ofĀ Bizen-yaki.
Why Choose aĀ Matcha Bowl from Bizen
Bizen-yakiĀ (ååē¼) is a type of pottery created in the city of Bizen, in Okayama prefecture. Bizen is one ofĀ Japan's Six Ancient KilnsĀ and the development of these kilns and techniques have been carefully preserved, representing a vital contribution to Japanās traditional arts.
In the 16thĀ century,Ā Bizen-yakiĀ gained the favor of Sen no Rikyu, the famous master of the tea ceremony, for itsĀ wabi-sabiĀ aesthetics. This notion ofĀ wabi-sabiĀ is a key concept in Japanese sensibility:Ā the appreciation of the ephemeral beauty of an imperfect object, which becomes more beautiful as time passes, and consequently acquires its own charm and an untranslatable idea of serenity.
Working with Bizen clay requires master craftsmanship to shape the wares and position them expertly inside theĀ anagamaĀ climbing kiln. During the long wood-firing process, the artisans donāt touch the wares, so it takes years of experience to know how to place the ceramics in the kiln to achieve the greatest outcome. The final appearance of each piece is not entirely predictable, making every dish or teacupĀ wholly original and unique. Making Bizen pottery is so arduous that most kilns only do a firing once or twice a year, or even less.
This chawan matcha bowl is handcrafted by ceramic artist Toshiaki Mori at theĀ Hozan KilnĀ in the town of Bizen. A direct descendant from the sixĀ Bizen-yakiĀ potter families, Mori-san is theĀ 19thĀ generation master artisan, who not only was selected and received awards at various national ceramics exhibitions, but also exhibited his works internationally, in the USA, UK, and Taiwan.
Caring For Your Bizen Ware Matcha Bowl
After use, chawan should be rinsed thoroughly with hot water, which will help it to dry faster. To preserve the delicate surface of the chawan, do not wash them in the dishwasher.
