{"product_id":"sadamitsu-sugimoto-sgs1","title":"Sugimoto Genkaku Sadamitsu:  Black Small Wabi Tea Bowl","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eA Raku (Ima-yaki) tea bowl by Sugimoto Sadamitsu, whose work focuses on Momoyama-period ceramics and tea wares, including Shigaraki, Iga, Raku, Shino, Oribe, and Ki-Seto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving studied for many years under the Zen master Tachibana Daiki of Daitokuji Temple, Sugimoto has made the spirit of Rikyu's wabi a central concern of his pottery. His Small Wabi Tea Bowls (Ko-Wabi Chawan) embody this philosophy through their dimensions and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese bowls take their cue from the tea bowls made by Chojiro under Rikyu's guidance, which were small enough to rest comfortably in the palms of one's hands. Rather than following the tendency to value greater size, Sugimoto finds in a modest, carefully considered scale the principle of \"knowing sufficiency\" (chisoku) and a restrained beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe matte black Raku glaze, reminiscent of Chojiro's tea bowls, has a smooth, dry feel to the touch. The gently constricted body fits naturally into the palms of the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eØ 107 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nH 84 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nIncludes: Original wooden box\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Rigan Gallery \u0026 Chanoyu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50828269682736,"sku":"SGSP1","price":330000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/6969\/9120\/files\/RGN05875.jpg?v=1792293811","url":"https:\/\/onlineshop.rigan.jp\/en\/products\/sadamitsu-sugimoto-sgs1","provider":"Rigan Gallery \u0026 Chanoyu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
