【 DETAILS 】

• Artist: Taniguchi Meiichi — signed wood box
• Motif: Hyotan (gourd) — incised into the clay body

• Condition: Excellent. No chips, cracks, or restoration
• Provenance: Signed wooden box
• Dimensions: Diameter approx. 10.5 cm / Height approx. 8 cm
【 CULTURAL INSIGHT 】
Oribe ware — named for tea master Furuta Oribe — emerged as a deliberate counter to the restrained aesthetics of his teacher Rikyu. Where Rikyu chose silence, Oribe chose asymmetry, bold green glaze, and pictorial decoration that leaned toward the playful and the seasonal. The hyotan (gourd) is a motif of particular resonance: associated with medicine, good fortune, and the sake vessel — it appears in Oribe work as a shape that knows its own humor. On a wabi chawan, incised rather than painted, it sits below the surface like a signature the bowl wears quietly.
【 DEEP DIVE 】
The green glaze characteristic of Oribe ware is produced by copper oxide in the glaze fired under specific atmospheric conditions. On this bowl, the green pools at the rim and descends in a controlled wash — neither flooding the surface nor retreating entirely. The cream-beige body beneath is a stoneware that accepts the glaze relationship without resistance. Taniguchi Meiichi's incised hyotan motif, carved into the unfired clay, shows confidence in line: the gourd form is achieved in a few carved movements, not labored. The resulting bowl has the casual authority of a craftsperson who has spent years in the tradition and arrived at ease.
