Tezuka Toho — Ninsei-Utsushi Fan & Stream Tea Bowl | Kyo-yaki Polychrome Gold Enamel

Heian memory, held in enamel and gold.

Tezuka Toho works in Kyoto in the tradition of Nonomura Ninsei — the seventeenth-century master who brought polychrome overglaze enamels to tea ware with a decorative intelligence that has never been surpassed. This bowl is an utsushi: not a copy, but a deep reading. A conversation across centuries.

The exterior carries fan-shaped panels — ogi motifs, classical emblems of Kyoto court culture — each containing a different image: plum, peony, iris, and shonzui patterns rendered in polychrome enamel with gold detailing. The gold rim band closes the composition with quiet authority. The interior continues the language: a fan-shaped gold design, visible when the bowl is held at the lip.

At 216 grams, the bowl has presence in hand. The proportions are composed: 12 cm wide, 7 cm tall — compact enough to feel deliberate.

Dimensions: 12 cm diameter × 7 cm height. Weight: 216 g.
Condition: Good. No chips, repairs, or enamel loss noted.
Includes: Tomobako (artist-signed wooden box).

For the collector who understands that decoration, at this level, is not ornament. It is authorship.
