Slight refinements lead many artists on new tangents, and this striking tea ceremony bowl by Koji Kamada is the product of his latest creative impulse.  It is done in a new rendition of his signature ginsho tenmoku glaze.  While cooling in the kiln, wood ash forms an intricate web uniformly across a soft, silvery layer of iron oxide - a breathtaking effect that is otherworldly, enhanced even more so by the golden halo around the rim where the glaze is thinnest.  It is an outstanding example of the kind of yohen (kiln changes) effects that have become the trademark of Mr. Kamada's tenmoku artistry.

The body is deftly formed to an exacting thinness and perfectly balanced.  Its wide brim allows whipped green tea to cool more rapidly, thus making this chawan more suited for serving matcha in the summer season.

See Koji Kamada's 40th Year Commemorative Exhibition for more works from his 2008 collection.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.

A fukusa (display cloth) is included.
