Black glaze technologies embodies a subdued, austere beauty often associated with wabi—the concept central to wabi-sabi, which is a phrase reflecting the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in imperfection, transience, and the natural. Its dark surface creates a striking contrast with the vibrant green of matcha tea when viewed within the bowl, enhancing both the aesthetic and creating an appetizing sensory experience. The allure of black glazes is evident in various styles, including Hikidashi-kuro, Kuro-Oribe, Tenmoku, and other iron-rich glazes, each showcasing unique textures and tonal qualities.
This tea bowl is a contemporary take on the classic Momoyama period black glazed Oribe tea ware, with designs on the face of it's Kutsu-gata type tea bowl form (or, "Shoe shape" form). Takiguchi Kiheiji (b. 1937) is a celebrated artist who re-developed Mino ware, including creating new glazes in Black Oribe, and Shino glaze types.
