Jarrón con forma de calabaza - Cerámica, 一輪挿し Ichirinzashi-Libre de todas las cosas innecesarias - Kiyomizu-yaki 三島Mishima - Japón - Periodo Shōwa (1926-1989)

*三島Mishima
Mishima ceramics were introduced to Japan from the Korean Peninsula during the Yi Dynasty. In terms of classification, Mishima belongs to a group called Funsei Saki.
The term “powder-coated ash blue ware,” also abbreviated as “powder blue saki,” refers to ceramics made in the 15th and 16th centuries under the Joseon Dynasty that used white clay for decoration.
Originally made on the Korean Peninsula, white decorated bowls and plates were brought to Japan, and Mishima tea bowls, which were converted to matcha bowls by Momoyama-era tea masters, are representative examples.
Mishima Characteristic #1: Zogan (inlay)
Mishima tea bowls are characterized by the carved surface of the bowl and the decoration of the white clay embedded in the surface. This is called Zogan.
Mishima Characteristic #2: Inga
First, the clay is stamped when it is soft. Next, white clay is embedded in the depressed area. The surface is then scraped clean, glazed, and fired to produce the piece shown in the image.

*一輪挿し
An ichirinzashi is a small vase for a single flower. It can also refer to putting a single flower in a vase and displaying it.
The culture of placing a single flower in a vase to appreciate it began in the Heian period, and Sen no Rikyu praised the ichirinzashi as "a more refined symbolic beauty, free from all unnecessary things."
*Kyo-yaki/Kiyomizu-yaki is a type of ceramic that is made around Kyoto City. Originally, Kyo-yaki was the general term for pottery made in Kyoto, and Kiyomizu-yaki was the name for the pottery made on the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. A characteristic of Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki, unlike those from other production areas, is that many different types of pottery are baked using a variety of techniques. Each kiln has different characteristics, and a wide variety of pottery is fired, including colored pottery, dyed pottery, tenmoku pottery, celadon pottery, and powdered pottery.
In addition to ``tea ceremony'' and ``flower arranging,'' Kyoto also has a variety of traditional arts and culture, such as ``kodo,'' which involves burning fragrant wood and appreciating the scent that rises from it, as well as an abundance of Kyoto cuisine and Japanese sweets that can only be found in Kyoto.

*Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki have developed together with these traditional Japanese cultures.
Even today, when mass-produced products have become mainstream, Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki have maintained the tradition of hand-made ceramics, and have established an unshakable position as Japan's representative ceramics.
