《Small Wabi Tea Bowl》

Among a series of tea bowls, such as the old Shigaraki tea bowl "Mizu no Ko" and Goryeo Ido Kohiki, there are many smaller tea bowls like "Ko-Ido."

The tea bowls made by Chojiro, which Rikyu is said to have desired, are subtly fired and generally small.

Because they are small, they fit in the palm of one's hand.

Perhaps it is Rikyu's wabi-cha where each natural element resides within the palm of one's hand.

*Comes with the artist's box inscription.
