Saka kouraizaemon X 10TH Chawan titled BY ARTIST "ONIHAGI" Japan bowl cup hagi ware
12.5 x 9.8
Among other types of pottery in Japan, Hagi pottery stands out for its earthy texture. It is due to the local clay type. Mishima, Daido, mitake.hagi pottery is not distinguished by its whiteness, but is distinguished by the three different types of clay that are used to make the pottery.This Saka pottery was a direct descendant of pottery creation in Japan during the Korean-Japanese War. the generations have been handed down and saka is the only oven that has reached the 13th generation as an incredible continuity from the beginning. it can have a transparent loquat where the typology of the very porous clay is seen, but it can also have a slight veil of glaze which makes it look like a medlar. Sometime during the 11th generation Hagi blank was invented, so incredible were the results after 10 12 days in the oven that it was a great discovery but this was of course in 1940. hagi stands out in ONIHAGI, the demon of Hagi when white separates from black and ash creating a unique and repeatable dualism. this Ido-style saga ceramic is one of the most representative forms of the Hagi style, the experts and great tea ceremony professionals adore this type of ceramic which has a medlar-like glaze where a very earthy clay can be glimpsed, and the elderly i monks naturally prefer this type of pottery.Miwa XI is the hardest white to find but we are lucky as Deishi Shibuya learn how make the same white as Miwa and Deishi was friends

He died on July 26, 2004, from a cerebral contusion caused by a fall. He was 54 years old
. This is a very attractive piece, with a large, comb-like pattern covered with Hagi's unique glaze, and crafted to look as if rain was falling outside the window.
This work is said to be one of the works that the 12th Saka Korazaemon brought to Kintetsu Department Store (Nara) just before the opening of his last solo exhibition, which was said
to be his last before his death. Among the very few works by the 12th Saka Korazaemon, this work is thought to have been made in his final years, making it a very rare piece.Please read the following carefully
about the characteristics of Hagi wareHagi ware does not have as tight spaces between the particles of soil as porcelain. Therefore, water may leak.Even if a teacup leaks at first, as you pour tea into it repeatedly, the rough soil grain will gradually become clogged with tea stains and it will no longer leak. At the same time, the color of the tea stains seeps into the vessel, and the color of the vessel as a whole changes. This is called "Hagi no Nanabake" and is a major feature that makes Hagi ware highly valued, especially for tea ceremony vessels, as a unique flavor of Hagi ware.Depending on the type of clay and glaze, or the firing method, some vessels leak less than others. If you have a vessel that leaks a lot or you don't like the color change much, it is a good idea to apply a leak-proofingmethod. ●How to prevent leakage at homePut rice gruel (you can also use funori or katakuri) into the Hagi ware and let it soak for about half a day to a day. Once it has soaked sufficiently, rinse with water and dry well in a well-ventilated place. If there is a lot of leakage, repeat this process several times to significantly reduce the leakage.○Rice gruel Add about 10 times the amount of water to a small amount of rice or cooked rice and boil it to make a paste.○Katakuri Pour hot water into water-dissolved potato starch tomake it thick*For vases, flower vases, etc., we recommend using specialized leak-stopping agents and silicone rather than trying to stop leaks on your own. Product Condition: *Unused and stored. * This item was carefully stored by an art lover without being used, so it is in excellent condition with nothing special to mention. *
