This is a tea bowl by Mori Tougaku, a master of Bizen ware from Okayama Prefecture. - In the first photo, the gold-like repair visible on the rim is not kintsugi (gold joinery), but rather a characteristic feature often seen in Bizen ware. - As can be seen in the four photos taken from the side, this is a top-class matcha tea bowl by Tougaku, demonstrating his advanced techniques that embody almost all the various characteristics of Bizen ware. - The artist's signature and kiln mark are on the side of the foot. - Inner diameter approximately 11 cm, height approximately 7.5 cm. - Comes with a paulownia wood box and a descriptive card. The lid of the paulownia wood box is intricately crafted with thin strips of mulberry wood. - Purchased at the tea ceremony道具店 (chadougu-ten) Aoshouen. Thank you for looking.
