Kyoto-ware tea bowl by Toshimine Nishimura, a disciple of Toshisho Kato. This piece applies the techniques of Wajima lacquerware, known for its traditional Kyoto-ware style and robust, elegant decoration. Leaf patterns are applied in colored lacquer and gold paint on a black lacquer base. This item was kept by my mother, who was a tea ceremony instructor for generations. It is a new, unused item in good condition, so we hope you will enjoy purchasing it. #ToshimineNishimura Tea Bowl #DiscipleOfToshishoKato #ToshimineNishimuraKyotoWareTeaBowl #TeaCeremonyUtensilsTeaBowl
