Hand crafted tea bowl
Hand crafted tea bowl by Kyoto ceramics artist Iku Murakami.
Gohon style pottery was introduced to Japan from Korea in the form of chawan (tea bowls) which were especially popular during the Azuchi-Momoyama (1573-1603) period throughout the early Edo period (1603-1868). The term gohon (lit. the book) refers to the order book in which the Japanese tea masters and daimyo marked the patterns and styles of wares they wished to order from the distant Busan kilns in Korea.

Enshu-ryu Tea Whisk for Thick Tea
According to the preferences of the different schools of tea, each style has different requirements for their tea whisks.
The Enshu school for example makes a distinction between whisks for thick-tea and thin-tea, and requires the knot of the thread holding the tines in place, to be tied on the inside.
This tea whisk is suitable for the preparation of a delicious bowl of thick tea matcha.
They are crafted by Yasaburo Tanimura, one of the very few craftsmen in the only region in Japan, Takayama in Nara prefecture, where traditional hand-crafted bamboo tea whisks are produced.
