An iro-e chrysanthemum-and-fence (籬菊) tea bowl by Minamiguchi Kansui, Kyoto ware — presented with its full original set: tomobako, matching cloth, bookmark card, and outer lacquered box.
The exterior carries chrysanthemums in deep crimson, purple, white, and teal arranged around a gold lattice-fence ground (yamaguchi-nishiki). The fence motif grounds the abundant blooms in a structured garden scene — the classic court autumn composition. Gold detailing defines the petal contours; the lower register dissolves into a warm ochre wash that gives the composition its horizon. The interior is a clean warm cream. The bowl's silhouette is slightly squared, asserting presence without aggression.
【 Basic Details 】
• Type: Chawan (matcha tea bowl)
• Style: Kyoyaki (Kyoto ware), iro-e
• Artist: Minamiguchi Kansui (南口閑粋)
• Motif: Chrysanthemum and fence (籬菊文)
• Size: Diameter approx. 12.2 × 11.1 cm / Height approx. 7.7 cm
• Condition: Excellent
• Provenance: Full set — tomobako, matching cloth (tomobukuro), bookmark card (tomoshiori), outer decorative box (keshoubako)
【 Cultural Insight 】
The chrysanthemum-and-fence (rinkiku or magaki-giku) motif draws from Heian-period court poetry and the tradition of Ogura Hyakunin Isshu. The fence, a humble garden boundary, becomes a frame for the aristocratic chrysanthemum — autumn's symbolic flower of longevity and imperial authority. In tea, this motif speaks to the formality of mid-autumn gatherings and the respectful attention given to seasonal markers.
【 Deep Dive 】
Minamiguchi Kansui's work in the Kyoyaki tradition reflects the continued vitality of Kyoto's ceramic culture in the latter 20th century. The multi-firing process required to achieve this depth of color — crimson and teal over gold over cream — represents considerable technical discipline. The full preservation of all original box materials (tomobako, tomobukuro, tomoshiori, keshoubako) is uncommon and speaks to the care with which this piece has been held.
