Re: Today's MatchaWan :D (new name, but tea's the same)

Here is a really remarkable and heavy (almost 450g) Edo period Kyoyaki Chawan I found about a month ago. It was made by Chimura Gako.
Short biography: Chimura Gako, 1727-1790. A warrior and Confucianist of the middle Edo period. Born in the 12th year of Kyõhõ (1727), the eldest son of Chimura Bõtaku, a samurai from the Owari region (modern Nagoya). Assumed the headship of the Chimura family in the inaugural year of Gembun (1736). Was later a chief retainer of Tokugawa Munekatsu. As a ceramicist, he created wares known as Hakushu-yaki. Died on the 30th day of the 6th month in the second year of the Kansei era (1790) at 64 years of age.
He was known by various names, including Hakushu, Sõkichi, Magodayü, and by the designate Jiteki-en, among others.

I've just gotten into Matcha and have a store bought Chawan. Works fine and is nice to my eye, but I've always liked looking through these photos of handcrated Chawan's, and now that I'm starting down this particular rabbit hole I would like to start researching that special Chawan and find it a home, my home!

I'm curious. where are people buying handcrafted Chawan's these days?

I'm in Canada and I will look up Canadian artisans, but if that doesn't work out, I would appreciate some links/tips. Ideally I would keep this initial artisan purchase to around $100 (more than 3x the store bought one). Being that I'm a beginner, I'm still looking for something that will work with my novice technique, but that will still be a great Chawan if/when I become an expert!

Thanks so much.

In general, people use eBay, Jauce, and stand alone stores online (unless you're lucky enough to go shopping in Japan).

Artsitic Nippon is a site favorite (or atleast mod-fav) - http://artisticnippon.com/

I got myself a newly made Shino bowl from AN a few days ago.

Matcha! this week has been a revelation, because I finally learned how to make a matcha that I enjoy. My long-neglected chawans have finally found their intended use, and they are working beautifully.

This was the first matcha I bought at Nijo Castle from a Fukujuen booth.....as close as I got to shopping in their flagship store, sigh.

Image

All set

Petr Novak's shino chawan, from the TeaChat special offer firing, with matcha at last:

If it weren't for a bit of nagging guilt that this glorious bowl had never met it's intended tea, I might not have pursued my matcha adventure. Thank you, Petr, for the gift of matcha enjoyment!

Good to the last drop

Hello.
My first chawan (mass produced Japanese ware) and matcha. I like it. I am lost, I think :o)
Still trying to improve my chasen technique.

BTW- Tomorrow I should receive new Tsu Tsu Chawan from French ceramist Mr.Manoha. I will add photos. It is more sculpture than chawan ;-)

Hello friends.
As I promised I would like to add my new chawan. This is real rough boy. That deadly toxicoid looking green surface is incredible. This was my "must have " choice immediately I saw it.

Potter Mr. Manoha personally harvested local clay (sandstone) and minerals. It is completely hand made.

I am really happy :D

Hello.

Previous green beast I named "Charon"

It is time for my next chawan- " The Smurf".
I was impressed by contrast among "The Smurfs" blue glaze , metallic stains and dark naked clay body. Those metallic stains are changing its colour in depence on light. This makes amazing effect. :o)

Hi again.

Finally I add elegant one. This is robust but gentle in one. Colour is passing from red to burgundy to black with melting white falls. Inside are bright blue stains. Fantastic piece.
Chawan is work of Ukrainian ceramist Yuriy Karpenko.
