Tea Bowl, Named “Furisode (Swinging Sleeves)”
- Exhibition information
- There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.
This tea bowl was crafted about 400 years ago, when the communal drinking of [matcha] green tea reached its peak of popularity. It represents a unique style of Japanese pottery called Shino. The surface is painted with wild grasses in iron pigment under a white glaze, creating the illusion of a misty field.
