Kyō-yaki Iron Glaze chawan by Okamoto Shōzō

This exquisite chawan is a testament to the sophisticated heritage of Kyoto-ware Kyo-yaki (京焼), a tradition defined by its technical excellence and refined aesthetic born in the heart of Japan's ancient capital. Crafted by the celebrated artisan Okamoto Shōzo (岡本璋弐), this piece elevates the Tsutsu chawan (Cylindrical Tea Bowl) form into a work of meditative elegance. The iron glaze offers a tactile contrast between the smooth rim & the textured body that sits securely in the hand. The dark glaze provides a stunning visual contrast against the vibrant emerald green of matcha.

Key Features & Craftsmanship

Imperial Refinement: Kyō-yaki is known for its precision and deep connection to the aristocracy and great tea masters who shaped the Chanoyu ceremony in Kyoto.
Artisan Okamoto Shōshiki: This piece carries the distinction of the master's hand. Shōshiki's work is celebrated for its subtle mastery of form and glaze, where the artistry lies not in flamboyant decoration, but in the perfect execution of classical techniques
The Cylindrical Form (Tsutsu): A specialized form, the tall, slender shape traps the steam and heat, keeping the tea warm longer while the guest cups their hands around the tall body for warmth

SABIRIKYU Chawan is housed in its original, signed wooden presentation box, complete with the artist’s distinctive calligraphy and seal. The Tomobako ( $\text{共箱}$ ) verifies the piece's authenticity and enhances its value as a collectible.
