Chawan - taza de té

Furuta Oribe, original name Furuta Shigenari.
Japanese tea master, born 1544, Mino province [now in Gifu prefecture], Japan, died July 6, 1615, Kyōto
 The slight assymetry in this 'chawan,' and also the variation in the glaze was not part of the potter's intention. I like using the word associated with Pure Land Buddhism; 'jinen' which means 'of itself.' The very best of 'chawan' have something of the 'of itself' quality.

Seiji,Tenmoku-chawan and Ido-chawan are made in China or Korea. Raku-chawan,Seto and Seto and Ogi are Wamono, made in Japan.
Plain chawan such as Korai-chawan and Raku-chawan are used for koicha(thick tea). And fancy chawan, for usucha(thin tea). A pot chawan is used in Ro season(November through April),and a shallow chawan is used in Furo season(May through October).

Gohon Hagi Chawan Tea Bowl, Ninsei

A finely molded thin walled Gohon Chawan dating from the later Edo period enclosed in an antique wooden box bearing the Ninsei Mark on the base indicating it was potted in Kyoto. There is a black lacquer repair to a hairline crack in the side. The age darkened base is the definitive Hagi Wari-Kodai Notched foot. The Chawan is 4-1/4 inches (11 cm) diameter, 2-3/4 inches (7 cm) tall.
