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.
