Vintage Bizen Chaire Tea Caddy, Kimura Toho, Toshoen, Katatsuki Chaire, Yohen, Haikaburi, Goma, Kuttsuki, Stone Burst, Unused or Very Lightly Used,
Bizen ware is one of Japan’s traditional pottery traditions and has a history of more than 1,000 years.
This Chaire was made by the Bizen artist Kimura Toho, born in 1927.
Toshoen Kiln was established in 1913 by his father, Kimura Shoji.
He succeeded to the kiln in 1962. His works are characterized by strong, simple forms and varied Bizen firing effects.
This Chaire shows Yohen, Goma, Haikaburi, Kuttsuki, and Stone Burst on the surface.
It comes with its original lid, original shifuku, and Tomobako (original signed paulownia box).
We received it from a friend who collected Bizen tea caddies.
The shifuku is made from fabric by Tatsumura Textile.
