Kyo-yaki (Kiyomizu Ware) – 15th Generation Kato Jihei, Jihei Kiln – Yūryūsai Glaze Matcha Bowl
We are pleased to present a matcha bowl by the 15th-generation Kato Jihei, crafted at the renowned Jihei Kiln in the Kyo-yaki tradition.
This kiln traces its lineage to Kato Jihei, one of the Seto Jussaku—the ten master potters selected by the famed tea master Furuta Oribe. The Jihei lineage has a rich history rooted in the traditions of Japanese ceramics.
In 1905 (Meiji 38), the 12th-generation Jihei relocated to Gojōzaka in Kyoto, where he primarily produced utensils for sencha (steeped green tea) ceremonies.
The 13th generation focused on tools for calligraphy, mounting art (hyōsō), and interior architectural fittings. He also studied seal carving (tenkoku) under Sonoda Kojo, becoming a prominent figure in the field and even serving as a juror for the prestigious Nitten Exhibition.
The current (15th) generation carries on this legacy with energetic creativity, incorporating seal carving techniques into floral stamp motifs (inka mon) and developing richly expressive glazes.
This matcha bowl features a green base over which a flowing blue glaze has been applied. The movement of the glaze resembles the ethereal quality of the aurora, creating a stunning visual effect.
Irregular brown kiln effects—possibly due to iron in the clay—appear in places on the bowl, harmonizing beautifully with the vivid blue hues.
The surface has a glossy, glass-like finish. Though the body is relatively thin, it maintains a sense of weight and presence, conveying a dignified elegance.
With its innovative design and luxurious feel, this bowl is a remarkable work that embodies a unique artistic vision.

清水烧 第十五代 加藤治兵卫 治兵卫窑 釉流彩 抹茶碗
这是一款来自清水烧,由第十五代加藤治兵卫所制作的治兵卫窑抹茶碗。
其窑系源于“瀬户十作”之一、由古田织部所推崇的名工——加藤治兵卫。
明治三十八年,第十二代治兵卫迁居至京都五条坂,以制作煎茶道具为主。
第十三代则主要从事书道用具、装裱用具、建筑隔扇等工艺的制作。
他还曾师从园田湖城先生,在印章雕刻(篆刻)领域也颇有建树,曾担任日本“日展”展览会的审查委员,表现活跃。
当代第十五代则将篆刻技艺与陶艺相结合,积极从事创作,擅长运用印花纹样及多样釉彩表现,展现独特的陶艺风格。
这只抹茶碗底釉为绿色,其上施有蓝色釉药,釉色流动之间呈现出如极光般的色彩变化,绚丽迷人。
碗身局部因含铁成分在窑烧过程中产生自然的茶褐色窑变,与整体蓝色调相互映衬,形成独特的美感。
表面光泽如玻璃般透亮,胎体虽薄,却不失厚重感。
整体设计新颖别致,质感高级,是一件展现独特世界观的佳作。
