Price is negotiable! Feel free to comment with any questions!! Based on the inscription by Tantansai, it is believed to be a work by the first Eiju Yaguchi. This is a work modeled after the "Iroe Koyo-ga Chawan" (Tea Bowl with Maple and Celebration Design) by Ninsei Nonomura, which is treasured in the Tokyo National Museum. It has a very beautiful scenery, is not overly elaborate, and is a beautiful matcha bowl from any angle. There are few works of the same type, and it is a superb item with an inscription by Tantansai. Below is a description of the Iroe Koyo-ga Chawan: A tea bowl by Ninsei Nonomura, who opened the Omuro kiln in front of Ninna-ji Temple in Rakusai, Kyoto, in the mid-17th century. It has an egg-shaped body and a rare shape with an outward-opening mouth rim. It depicts the "Koyo-ga" chapter of the Tale of Genji in a "Rusumoyo" (absent pattern) style, without depicting the main character, Hikaru Genji. It reflects the courtly aesthetic typical of the Omuro kiln, which represents Kyo-yaki (Kyoto-style pottery). ▢ Urasenke 14th generation Tantansai Soshitsu Born in 1893, died in 1964 The 14th head of the Urasenke school of tea ceremony.
