{"product_id":"goryeo-style-matcha-bowl-by-kanehiko-with-feldspar-glaze-original-box","title":"Goryeo Style Matcha Bowl by Kanehiko with Feldspar Glaze Original Box","description":"The bowl expands sharply from a narrow red foot toward a wide, flared rim — the Korean katachi that arrived in Japan and never left. Against the deep brown ground, white feldspar erupts in irregular patches: not decoration, but geology, the evidence of firing's violence translated into stillness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis matcha bowl (chawan) is made in the style of Goryeo (Koryeo \/ 高麗) ware by the artist Kanehiko (金彦模), whose work engages directly with the Korean ceramic tradition that shaped Japanese tea aesthetics from the sixteenth century onward. The form is unmistakably Korean-lineage: a wide, flared mouth that contracts sharply to a compact red-clay foot ring, the silhouette describing the dynamic tension between expansion and restraint that characterizes the ido-type chawan. The glaze is a deep brown ground punctuated throughout by white feldspar inclusions — hakeme-adjacent technique — that appear as eruptions or constellations depending on the light. The interior continues this surface with a muted grey-green glaze, clear at the base. The red foot ring (kōdai) is exposed and characteristic. Diameter approximately 14.5 cm, height approximately 8 cm. Original tomobako with inscription and seal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Goryeo ware tradition — developed on the Korean peninsula during the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) — became foundational to Japanese tea ceremony culture when tea masters in the Momoyama period (late 16th century) recognized in Korean peasant bowls an aesthetic quality that aligned with the wabi ideal. Sen no Rikyu and his circle elevated these utilitarian objects to the highest position in tea practice. The ido-type and its relatives became the most celebrated of tea bowls in Japan, their Korean origins acknowledged as central to their identity. Kanehiko's work continues this dialogue, making vessels in the Korean tradition for the Japanese tea context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor practitioners of chado at the senior level, a bowl of this scale and type is appropriate for thick tea (koicha) practice — the wide interior supporting the whisk, the flared form creating the opening for the hands-in-bowl posture. For collectors, the piece represents the ongoing engagement between Korean and Japanese ceramic traditions, documented in an artist whose name suggests that biographical intersection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bowl presents in sound condition. The glaze surface on the exterior shows intentional texture variation from the feldspar application. The red foot ring and unglazed lower body are clean and undamaged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【日本語説明】\u003cbr\u003e金彦模作の高麗茶碗です。共箱付き。直径約14.5cm、高さ約8cm。褐色地に白い長石の斑点が入る高麗風の茶盌。朝鮮半島の伝統的技法を踏まえた作家物。赤い高台が特徴的。茶道具として使用可能な状態です。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ SHIPPING \u0026amp; PACKAGING ]\u003cbr\u003e• Dispatch: Within 1-6 business days\u003cbr\u003e• Carrier: Japan Post EMS \/ UPS (with tracking)\u003cbr\u003e• Packaging: Carefully wrapped with protective materials","brand":"The Modern Zen Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61633033929074,"sku":"260302_a_2291","price":791.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m96730542268_1.jpg?v=1772637041","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/goryeo-style-matcha-bowl-by-kanehiko-with-feldspar-glaze-original-box","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
