This is a Shigaraki tea bowl by Mitsufumi Motomura of Gesshin Kiln, who creates pottery at the foot of Mount Gassan in Yamagata Prefecture. I have owned this tea bowl for over 10 years after purchasing it at Mr. Motomura's solo exhibition, and I have enjoyed making tea in my own style from time to time. It is a truly refined and tasteful masterpiece. The texture of Shigaraki clay is beautifully realized in this single bowl. It is as if you can see the universe within the tea bowl. Mr. Motomura's works are born in the nature-rich land of Yamagata, and they are items that could only be created in that place. Please enjoy the tranquility of the moment when you make tea, quietly facing yourself. This is a perfect item for enjoying such a time. Please take this opportunity to welcome this tea bowl into your home. I am sure it will become a lifelong favorite. This item was purchased new and used at home.
