Crafted by Morizato Toraku at the historic Kōdaiji Kiln, this Kyoto ware tea bowl embodies the refined beauty of Ninsei-style ceramics. Its hand-painted Tatsuta River motif, adorned with vibrant red and gold maple leaves, captures the fleeting beauty of autumn, a theme deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics and classical poetry.
Inspired by the legacy of Nonomura Ninsei, this tea bowl showcases graceful forms, intricate overglaze enamel work, and masterful composition. The flowing river and delicate maple leaves, symbols of impermanence and harmony with nature, create a visually striking contrast, enhancing the tea-drinking experience.
