Hagi Ware Tea Bowl Sanyu is a traditional Hagi ware tea bowl, often referring to works by the artist Fujii Sanyu. It is characterized by its unique earthy texture, softness, and the Seven Transformations of Hagi which refers to its aging process. Hagi ware often incorporates Raku ware techniques and absorbs/reconstructs the styles of other artists, making its unique texture appealing.
Features of Hagi Ware Tea Bowl Sanyu
Artistry: Today, works by the contemporary Hagi ware artist Fujii Sanyu are popular and often come with a signed wooden box (tomobako).
Texture: It has a soft, earthy texture and simple beauty. As you use it, the tea seeps into the cracks (kannyu), and the color changes, allowing you to enjoy the Seven Transformations of Hagi.
Historical Background: The name Sanyu, which follows the lineage of Raku ware, also exists in the Raku ware lineage, such as Raku ware's sixth generation Sanyu (Rokunyu, son-in-law of Sounyu). However, in the context of Hagi ware, Fujii Sanyu's works are primary.
General Characteristics of Hagi Ware
Water Absorption: Fired at low temperatures in a climbing kiln, the clay is not tightly packed, resulting in excellent water absorption.
Handmade Feel: Many kilns handle the entire process from clay sourcing to shaping and firing, giving them a warm, handmade feel.
Precautions for Use: When using for the first time, soak it in water to allow it to absorb moisture, which will help prevent stains.
If you are looking for a Hagi Ware Tea Bowl Sanyu, this tea bowl, primarily by Fujii Sanyu, allows you to enjoy its soft texture and changes over time.
