Its warm amber body, achieved through reduction and iron content in the clay and glaze, was explicitly chosen by tea masters as an alternative to Chinese perfection: deliberately Japanese, deliberately imperfect. The chokoku — the imperial poetic theme announced each New Year — has inspired ceramicists, calligraphers, and poets for centuries. A piece made to the theme carries the weight of that cultural moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【 DEEP DIVE 】\u003cbr\u003eThe Oribe-style green glaze drip at the rim of this Ki-Seto bowl is not accidental — it is a deliberate compositional element, referencing the Furuta Oribe aesthetic of color contrast within a single vessel. Where Ki-Seto is amber and internal, the green drip is outward-facing and modern in gesture. The pairing was understood by Momoyama-period tea masters as an expression of controlled tension: warmth and coolness, restraint and flourish in a single fired surface. The chokoku theme 'Midori' adds a conceptual layer — the bowl does not merely exist; it participates in a cultural dialogue that extends beyond the tea room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e---\u003cbr\u003e【 黄瀬戸茶碗 大津豊泉造 勅題「緑」】\u003cbr\u003e黄瀬戸の典型的な温かみある琥珀色の地肌に、縁に織部釉の緑が流れ落ちる。勅題「緑」にちなんだ作品。共箱付き。直径約11cm、高さ約7.5cm。\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":61687473308018,"sku":"260318_a_2512","price":500.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m50483210170_1.jpg?v=1774104952","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/ki-seto-chawan-by-ozu-hozen-imperial-theme-green-signed-box","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
