A black chawan of commanding presence — rough-textured glaze and applied mon (family crest) medallions give this bowl the gravity of ceremonial armor translated into clay.
The surface refuses refinement. Glaze gathers in dark, volcanic textures, broken only by circular mon reliefs that rise from the walls like seals pressed into stillness. The form is broad-shouldered and deliberate, carrying weight that the hand recognizes before the eye.
This is a bowl built for confrontation — the kind of tea vessel that changes the atmosphere of a room simply by being placed on the tatami.
Accompanied by the original tomobako with calligraphic inscription. Box shows sun marks and surface staining from age.
