The glaze field spreads wide across the interior — a broader crystallization plane than the constricted Song-style profile. Silver oil-spots emerge densely and evenly from the black ground, each one a frozen moment of glaze chemistry arrested in the kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe silver fukurin rim — applied with precision — frames the opening with quiet authority. The foot is left raw, coarse clay exposed, Koie's stamped seal pressed into the base as a mark of authorship rather than ornament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ BASIC DETAILS ]\u003cbr\u003e• Diameter: approx. 130 mm\u003cbr\u003e• Height: approx. 69 mm\u003cbr\u003e• Glaze: Yuteki tenmoku (oil-spot) with silver fukurin rim\u003cbr\u003e• Foot: Unglazed stoneware, stamped maker's seal (剛)\u003cbr\u003e• Condition: Excellent — no chips, no cracks, no significant wear to glaze\u003cbr\u003e• Tomobako: Signed paulownia wood box (minor staining to exterior; does not affect bowl)\u003cbr\u003e• Tomo-nuno: Original silk cloth included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ CULTURAL \u0026amp; ARTISTIC INSIGHT ]\u003cbr\u003eYuteki tenmoku descends from the Jian kilns of Song-dynasty Fujian — bowls carried to Japan by returning Zen monks, absorbed into the tea ceremony as objects of concentrated looking. The oil-spot pattern is not decoration; it is a record of thermal event. Temperature, atmosphere, mineral content — all held in suspension, fixed at the moment the kiln cooled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKoie Tsuyoshi works within this lineage while refusing exact reproduction. The wider, more open form here departs from the hipped tenmoku silhouette of the Song tradition. The crystallization field has room to breathe. The bowl invites the eye to move across it rather than into a confined interior depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ DEEP-DIVE COMMENTARY ]\u003cbr\u003eThe tomo-nuno distinguishes this piece from many yuteki bowls that reach the market without their original cloths. Tomobako alone confirms maker and intent; the silk cloth confirms care — that someone, somewhere along the provenance chain, kept the full set together. These details accumulate into a document of responsible stewardship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe silver fukurin contributes its own register: protection against chipping at the lip, yes — but also a deliberate formal statement, a line drawn between the dark glaze world of the interior and the space above the rim. Koie applies it not as ornament but as punctuation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the practitioner of usucha or koicha, the open form distributes heat evenly and allows a full chasen motion. For the collector, the crystallization density and the completeness of the set make this a bowl that holds its presence on a shelf as clearly as in a hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ 日本語解説 ]\u003cbr\u003e【仕様】\u003cbr\u003e口径：約13cm　高さ：約6.9cm\u003cbr\u003e釉薬：油滴天目（銀福輪口）\u003cbr\u003e高台：無釉、陶印（剛）\u003cbr\u003e状態：良好。目立つ傷・ホツなし。木箱にシミあり（碗本体への影響なし）\u003cbr\u003e付属：共箱（桐製）・共布\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【素材・技法・時代】\u003cbr\u003e窯：常滑系 \/ 愛知県\u003cbr\u003e作家：鯉江剛\u003cbr\u003e技法：油滴天目釉、還元焼成、銀福輪\u003cbr\u003e時代：現代（2007年以前）\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【鑑賞の焦点】\u003cbr\u003e黒釉の面に、銀色の油滴が密に、しかし均一な間隔で浮かぶ。宋代建窯の天目に連なる技法でありながら、鯉江剛のこの作品はより開いた形状を選んでいる。碗の内側に広がる結晶の場は、閉じた天目特有の深度ではなく、水平方向の広がりを持つ。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e銀福輪は口縁を静かに縁取り、暗い釉薬世界と空間の境界を示す。高台には「剛」の陶印。作家性の記しとして、装飾としてではなく押されている。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e共箱に加えて共布が揃う点は、この碗の来歴管理の丁寧さを物語る。受け継ぐにふさわしい、一式の完結した作品。\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":61845895709042,"sku":"260512_a_2837","price":1034.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m37779385151_1.jpg?v=1778563905","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/koie-tsuyoshi-yuteki-tenmoku-chawan-oil-spot-tea-bowl-with-silver-fukurin-tomobako-tomo-nuno","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
