Beautiful Mizusashi (water jug for tea ceremony) by Kamei Miraku XIII (1883-1956).
It is nice to use as a vase, too.
Kamei Miraku has inherited the tradition of Takatori ware, which has a history of over 400 years as one of the seven kilns of Enshu, and has continued to produce mainly tea ceremony ceramics and other pottery for generations.
The characteristic feature of Takatori ware is the “Takatori ware glaze,” which features seven different colored glazes, and is made with the assumption that various expressions can be created by the mixture of clay, the degree of glaze application, and the action of the climbing kiln. The 13th generation Ajiraku was certified by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce as a preserver of the technique in April 1942, and the 14th generation was designated as the first holder of the Fukuoka City Intangible Cultural Asset Craft Technique in 1977.
Takatori ware (in Fukuoka Prefecture) is highly respected among tea masters.
Takatori ware was founded by Korean potters at the end of the sixteenth century.
Takatori became known as one of the Seven Favorite Kilns of Enshu, which made wares following the preferences of the tea ceremony master Kobori Enshū. (1579-1647).
Elegant and authentic pottery from Japan.
