Description
This Bizen tea bowl is by Takashi Iwamoto, an artist known for a style that is both intricate and bold, rooted in solid technique, creating everything from everyday tableware to powerful large jars. As someone who enjoys tea ceremony himself, Iwamoto-sensei has crafted a piece that fits perfectly in the palm and feels exceptionally comfortable to use. While it is fired with a rich variety of kiln-change effects, the ash-covered areas have a moist, glass-like texture that is pleasant to the mouth and touch, and the interior is carefully finished to ensure the tea whisk is not damaged. Why not consider this as a gift for a milestone like a longevity celebration, with wishes for the recipient to enjoy a healthy life in both body and mind?
Signed wooden box (double-slat lid)
Diameter 12.7cm x Diameter 11.8cm x Height 8.1cm
Regarding gift packaging
Takashi Iwamoto entered the world of pottery influenced by his father, Goichi Iwamoto, and became independent after taking over the kiln in 1980. His work centers on wheel-thrown pieces, including a wide range of jars, vases, tea utensils, sake sets, and tableware. He is an artist who spares no effort from shaping to firing to elevate the perfection of the works he envisions. He built a new kiln in 1989. He received an encouragement award at the Prefectural Exhibition in 1982 and was selected for the Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition in 1993 and 1994. He remains active in public exhibitions.
