The title itself carries institutional weight: to hold this position is to be woven into the living lineage of Chado.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe e-gohon style takes its name from Korean Joseon dynasty wares once imported as models for Japanese potters. The warm cream body, the iron-drawn brushwork of wave and cloud — these are not decorative choices but a vocabulary refined across centuries of tea practice. Clouds and waves together suggest the liminal: the space between earth and sky, between movement and stillness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhase D — Deep-Dive Commentary:\u003cbr\u003eWhat the hand holds in this bowl is not simply clay. It is a position in a conversation that began before the maker was born and will continue after the holder sets it down. The spiral in the well. The throwing lines that record motion now stilled. The painted forms that do not demand reading — they allow it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is what Eiraku Zengoro understood: authorship in the tea tradition is not self-expression. It is the careful transmission of something older than any single maker. The tomobako is sealed with that intention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【日本語説明】\u003cbr\u003e永楽善五郎作、絵御本茶碗。千家十職として代々千家に仕えてきた窯元による作品。クリーム色の御本肌に波と雲の絵付けを施した風雅な一碗。高さ約8.1センチ、径約12.5センチ。共箱付。状態良好。御本釉の温かみある肌合いと、流れるような波・雲文様が見どころ。茶席での格調ある存在感を持ちます。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhase E — Shipping:\u003cbr\u003eShips from Japan.
