Honoo Geijutsu, the most famous Japanese pottery magazine in Japan has released a special edition entitled “Itoshi no Chaki”, meand “Dear tea utensils.”

Since the Azuchi-Momoyama period 1568-1600, tea ceremony culture has been cherished along with Japanese history.
Possessing good tea utensils was a great status for “Busho” warriors and cllectors, and even in modern society, leading businessmen compete to collect masterpieces of tea utensils, and tea ceremony and tea utensils are still at the center of Japanese culture.

In this issue of Honoo Geitsu, these tea utensils by “contemporary artists” and “modern master artists” were introduced.
Mainly works and potters recommended by gallerists all over Japan are gathered together in this book, so you can check all the potters who are currently attracting attention in Japan.

Among those selected works and potters, the works by Mr. Kyusetsu Miwa XIII, who was recommended by our gallery Hagi Yakiya, is featured at the top of the magazine.
