Some viewers might be puzzled to find a “tea bowl” made by an artisan who carried the name or title of 8th-generation Kenzan. The first-generation Kenzan Ogata is a superstar potter/ceramicist from Kyoto, born in 1658.
The 8th Kenzan mostly made tea bowls and other utensils for tea ceremonies in the well-known style of Ogata Kenzan.
This one is different, and it has a design of willow trees in a free and fluid line. The bowl is perfect for enjoying tea casually, but its uses don't stop there. To enjoy a bowl of tea, you do not need a Tea Room and all the gear. You only need one round wooden tray and 3 or 4 utensils. You could also use it in many other ways, opening up a world of possibilities. I would enjoy cold Hōji-cha (roasted green tea) in summer afternoon in a shade..
