Black Raku tea bowl named “Yaburemado” authenticated by Rokurokusai,ex-collection of the Raku family
Two different types of glaze, one black and the other a transparent yellow called kihage glaze, are boldly applied, which gives this bowl a highly modern look. The name “Yaburemado”, literally torn window, derives from the effect in which a crack caused by firing is coated with the transparent glaze so that the crack is visible.
Red Raku tea bowl named “Shûkaidô” authenticated by Seisai
Rather large in size, the bowl has a powerful presence, stylistically representing Tannyû's red bowls. The trimming traces by the spatula horizontally and vertically applied are clearly visible. A contrast between a dark green colour caused by the kiln change against a vivid red clay body is harmonious and beautifully effective.
