Kiyomizuyaki Oil-Drip Tenmoku Matcha Bowl by Banshō Tanaka with Silver Rim (Real Silver)
This is an introduction to an oil-drip Tenmoku matcha bowl by Banshō Tanaka, crafted in Kiyomizuyaki style.
A Tenmoku matcha bowl is a type of tea bowl with a black iron glaze, used in the tea ceremony, particularly for the daisu-temae (a formal tea ceremony) or for the presentation of tea to honored guests.
Compared to a standard matcha bowl, the Tenmoku bowl is considered to be of a higher rank and is often used on a Tenmoku tea table. It is commonly used for serving tea to noble guests or offered before Buddhist altars.
The term “Tenmoku” is believed to originate from the fact that Zen monks in the Kamakura period brought back tea bowls from the Buddhist temples on Mount Tenmoku in Zhejiang Province, China, which were of this shape.
The base clay of a Tenmoku bowl is hard, and its color ranges from dark brown to purplish brown, with the lower part of the bowl being made thicker. The shape is typically somewhat shallow, with an outward-flaring rim, and a low, small foot. The rim of the bowl has a slight suppon-kuchi curve, which is characteristic of the Tenmoku style.
The glaze on these bowls, composed of iron and manganese, produces various kiln effects.
This particular matcha bowl is of the yuteki-tenmoku style, where numerous circular silver spots, resembling the stars on a dark night, appear within the glossy black glass-like glaze. The surface has a beautiful sheen, with the silver markings emitting a metallic-like glow.
The bowl is also adorned with a fukurin (silver rim), where the upper edge of the bowl is coated with real silver, enhancing its noble appearance and lending an air of refinement.
This exquisite matcha bowl is perfect for presenting tea to important guests, or for offerings to deities or ancestors.

这是一款由田中万祥先生所制作的清水烧油滴天目茶碗的介绍。
天目茶碗是一种铁质黑釉茶碗,通常用于茶道的台子点前或贵人点前。与普通的抹茶碗相比,天目茶碗被认为更具格调,通常放置在天目茶台上使用。
它常用于呈献给高贵人士的茶礼,或者在佛前供奉。根据一种说法,天目茶碗得名于镰仓时代,当时日本的禅僧从中国浙江省天目山的佛寺带回了一种类似形状的茶碗,因此称之为天目茶碗。
天目茶碗的素地坚硬,呈黑褐色或紫褐色,下部较厚。形状较为浅显,口沿微微向外张开,高台低而小。碗口的边缘具有如同“すっぽん口”般的曲线,这也是天目茶碗的典型特征。
其釉药由铁和锰组成,在烧制过程中会呈现出各种变化,展现独特的窑变效果。
这款抹茶碗被称为油滴天目,其表面上浮现出许多银色的圆形斑点结晶,这些斑点镶嵌在漆黑的玻璃釉中,宛如夜空中的星星,呈现出美丽的光泽和质感。
碗面釉药光滑且非常有光泽,银色斑纹如同金属般闪烁,展现出迷人的美丽。
碗口部分采用了覆轮工艺,即用本银为碗口部分涂饰,增添了整体的高贵气质。
这款茶碗非常适合用于接待重要客人,或者作为供奉神佛和先祖的器具使用。
