Product description
This chawan is a celebration of incised decoration in all its nobility. The Mishima technique, inherited from Korean potters of the Joseon period and passionately adopted by Japanese tea masters as early as the 16th century, consists of engraving patterns into damp clay before inlaying them with a contrasting white slip. What remains, once fired, possesses a precision and delicacy that the brush alone could not achieve.
On the inner rim, a frieze of stylized leaves repeats with an almost meditative regularity, each motif slightly different from the last, betraying the hand that traced them one by one. The bottom of the bowl reveals a finely incised grid, textured like precious fabric. On the exterior, horizontal white streaks on the brown clay create an effect of depth and movement, like the lines of a plowed field seen from above.
>A bowl to be looked at before it is held, and which continues to reveal new details the longer the eye dwells upon it. Only one piece available, for those who appreciate that beauty lies in the detail.
