It is currently in the collection of the Hakone Art Museum. (Taisho Meikikan). Kuniyaki tea bowls set, after Ninsei. Ninsei, who devoted himself to the best in coloring and execution of his work. Nonomura Ninsei opened his kiln in 1647, in front of the Ninnaji temple in Kyoto, and named it Omurogama. He made his name through excellent throwing skills, elegant designs in glazing and graceful forms, favored by many nobles and samurais of the time. Revisiting the historical development of his work styles at the Omurogama, the exhibition explores a diverse collection of Ninsei’s overglazed ceramics, focusing on the use of silver and gold colors. The over-glazed tea leaf jars, inherited by the Kyōgoku clan, offer an interesting perspective on Ninsei’s designs as they are displayed next to the folding screens and craftworks as sources of inspiration.
