Authentic **Setoguro Mizusashi** by master **Kurata Mitsunori**. This **Japanese Water Jar** in **Classic Seto Black** features a **Deep Tenmoku Glaze** and represents a **Zen Tea Masterpiece**. Housed in a **Signed Tomobako**, it is a **Luxury Ceremony Decor** piece ideal for **Japanese Pottery** and **Art Collectors**.
A powerful Mizusashi (fresh water jar) in the Setoguro (Seto Black) style by the master Kurata Mitsunori of Tenno-gama. Setoguro is famous for its 'Hikidashi-guro' technique, where the red-hot vessel is pulled directly from the kiln to achieve a spontaneous, jet-black finish.
**Basic Details**
- **Artist**: Kurata Mitsunori (Tenno Kiln)
- **Technique**: Setoguro (Seto Black) stoneware with Hikidashi technique
- **Era**: Late 20th Century (Heisei Era)
- **Origin**: Nagoya/Seto region, Japan
- **Dimensions**: approx. Diameter 14.3 cm, Height 16 cm
- **Box**: Original Signed Wooden Box (Tomobako)
- **Condition**: Pristine condition, no chips or cracks
**Cultural & Artistic Insight**
Setoguro ware reached its peak in the Momoyama period. Its austere, pitch-black surface was highly coveted by tea masters like Sen no Rikyu for its ability to hide the presence of the vessel and focus the mind on the spirit of the tea.
**Deep-Dive Commentary**
**Artistry**: Mitsunori's mastery over the kiln environment is seen in the depth of the black glaze. It is not a flat black, but a 'liquid' black that contains subtle shifts in texture and sheen. The form is commanding with its straight, confident lines.
**Technical Detail**: The Hikidashi technique is physically demanding and results in a unique surface tension. This piece anchors the tea room with its 'mountain of shadow' presence.
**Usage**: The 16 cm height is the standard for formal tea setups. Its weight provides stability, and the black surface creates a stunning contrast against the bamboo water ladle (Hishaku) and the fresh green of matcha.
*A void of night, forged in the dragon's fire, guarding the purity of water.*
