EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Tea bowl with the design of a blossoming plum tree, originating from Kyoto during the Edo period. Created by an unknown workshop in Raku ware style, this ceramic masterpiece measures 7.7x12 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution, USA. The delicate beauty of this tea bowl lies in its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. The black Raku glaze creates a striking contrast against the white slip and cobalt pigment that lay beneath a clear glaze. This combination gives life to the mesmerizing depiction of a blooming plum tree, symbolizing resilience and new beginnings in Japanese culture. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to 19th-century Japan, where tea ceremonies were held as sacred rituals steeped in tradition and mindfulness. This tea bowl would have been cherished for its aesthetic appeal as well as its functional purpose. Thanks to Charles Lang Freer's generous gift, this extraordinary piece has found its rightful place among other masterpieces at the Freer Gallery of Art. Its presence serves as a testament to both Japanese artistry and cultural heritage. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we can now appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this Tea bowl with design of blossoming plum tree – an enduring symbol of gracefulness amidst adversity.
