Vintage Bizen Matcha Tea Bowl, Japanese Matcha Tea Bowl, Bizen Ware, Yohen, Goma, Ishida Yasuhiro, Chawan, Unused,
Bizen ware is one of Japan’s well-known pottery traditions and originates from the former Bizen Province in present-day Okayama Prefecture.
This Matcha tea bowl was made by the Bizen artist Ishida Yasuhiro, who was born in Bizen City in 1952. He graduated from the Bizen Pottery Center in 1974 and studied Bizen pottery under Kimura Touzan at Tokeido-kiln. He received a number of awards at Japan Kogei Craft Exhibitions and other exhibitions. His son, Ishida Kazuya, later succeeded to the kiln.
It comes with its Tomobako (original signed paulownia box), Tomonuno (original artist-stamped cloth), and an artist-provided leaflet. We received it from our relative in Okayama.
It is suitable for use in the Japanese tea ceremony.
