Japanese Green Blue Tea Ceremony Mizusashi Water Jar by Master Porcelain Artist
About the Item
Exquisite Japanese contemporary hand-painted porcelain mizusashi water jar in green and blue featuring autumn flora and classified as a tomobuta (matching lid) type. Depicted on the inner surface of the jar with a touch of empathy and sadness is an elderly man steering his rowboat through a particularly treacherous stretch of a rock-strewn river.This is the work of highly decorated master porcelain artist of the Kutani region who remains active today in his 80s. A long-time aficionado of the tea ceremony, the artist’s kiln adjoins a traditional tea ceremony room that he has named “Sen Shin An” (soul cleansing hermitage).
Mizusashi is a lidded fresh water jar used in the traditional Japanese teaceremony to replenish the boiling kettle and rinse the tea bowls. First to enterand last to leave the tea ceremony room, the mizusashi serves as a focal point in the aesthetic scheme of an otherwise meditative and somber ceremony with a history that goes back more than ten centuries.
Throughout the years, the artist has created numerous mizusashi and tea bowls for the traditional tea ceremony. His work is currently on display in the Multiversity Gallery of the Museum of Anthropology of the University of British Columbia.
This porcelain mizusashi comes in a custom-made wooden box signed by the artist.
