Peony Arabesque Patterned Matcha Bowl

Prix de vente$1,446.00 USD

Description

This finely detailed matcha bowl is the masterwork of artist Satomi Toshitaka. Using gosu—an indigo pigment central to the art of sometsuke—he applies his expert touch with a brush as fine as a single hair onto the translucent white canvas of Mikawachi ware. The result is a vessel that exudes a beguiling sense of tradition and calm.

Satomi employs the celebrated sometsuke underglaze method in crafting this matcha bowl. On a bisqued base, he meticulously paints the motifs in thin, smooth lines. This foundational step defines the composition and prepares the surface for the tonal shading that follows.

Satomi’s use of tsukedami demonstrates his extraordinary control and sensitivity to form. Using a specially crafted, densely bristled brush, he loads the gosu and holds it steady and horizontal, allowing the color to seep into the bisqueware as if poured. Because the porcelain is highly absorbent, each stroke must be completed in a single, uninterrupted motion—only then can the subtle transitions and polished finish that define his work be achieved. Mastery of this technique requires not only a precise hand, but also years of dedicated practice.

Every line appears to breathe—graceful without stiffness—imbuing the form with a naturally harmonious spirit. The matcha bowl’s poised silhouette and rim enhance both sight and touch, transforming the simple act of whisking tea into a serene ritual. Perfect for connoisseurs of the tea ceremony, it brings a feeling of mindful presence to every moment.
