Oribé Tea Ceremony Bowl by Wada Tōzan

Description

Oribé is a style of pottery named after feudal lord and tea master Furuta Oribé (1545-1615).  He was the student of the legendary Sen No Rikyū, who pioneered the quiet, Zen-inspired tea ceremony bowls called Raku.  Oribe's style, however, was a dramatic visual departure from that of his teacher's, emphasizing asymetrical shapes, brisk brushwork, and figurative images of nature alongside free-flowing, dark copper greens.

Wada Tōzan is an accomplished artist with over 40 years experience producing the finest ceramics for tea ceremony.  He is proud to introduce his own rendition of oribé in this captivating chawan tea ceremony bowl.  The beautiful addition to any Japanese ceramics collection.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.

A fukusa display cloth is included.
