Made by Shoka Kato Oribe ware, Early Spring Picture, March, Tea Bowl New, Unused / With original box, cloth, and artist's card This item was carefully stored by my mother, who loved the tea ceremony. This is an Oribe ware tea bowl made by the ceramic artist Shoka Kato, produced in the late Showa to early Heisei periods. As the box inscription "Early Spring Picture, March" indicates, this tea bowl is for the season of celebrating the beginning of spring. The white floral design and soft colors evoke a pure and refreshing atmosphere of early spring. While based on the Oribe ware technique, the elegant and refined design is favored in Kyoto tea ceremonies, possessing a so-called "Kyoto-style" atmosphere. This item is new and unused, having never been used after purchase, and has been carefully stored in its original box. There are no chips or cracks, and the condition is very good. The original box, cloth, and artist's card are all included, making it excellent for both documentation and collection. Recommended for use in early spring and New Year's tea ceremonies, spring tea gatherings, those who want to collect seasonal tea bowls, and those who like Oribe ware and Kyoto-style designs.
