Teabowl with
hakeme
From Japan
Edo period,
17th -18th century AD
Such eccentrically shaped teabowls became
popular around the end of the sixteenth century, when the Japanese
Tea Ceremony had become widely influenced by the lavish fashions of
the growing urban
society.
The bowl is also
striking because of the
hakeme, or brushed
marks, resulting from the brushed application of the glaze mixture,
after the original Korean technique.
