Subject Matter
Japanese monks brought teabowls that made use of this glazing technique from the Jian kilns of southeast China, known in Japan as tenmoku. The most highly prized varieties of tenmoku were those with the descriptively named "iridescent", "oil spot", and "hare’s fur" glazes. This tea bowl is an example of modern tenmoku ware.
