Tea Bowl, Named “Hashihime (Princess of the Bridge)”
- Exhibition information
- There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.
This massive tea bowl reflects the aesthetic trends of the late 1500s, when samurai warlords were battling each other while indulging in tea drinking. A simple painting of an arched bridge decorates the surface. The bowl’s name, Princess of the Bridge, may refer to a goddess who watches over the Uji Bridge near Kyoto.
