Teabowl with Rising Sun and Crane

Eiraku Hozen Japanese

Not on view

Eiraku Hozen was a prominent ceramist during the late Edo period, a time when imperial temples and daimyo households started to commission wares from Kyoto potters. Brightly colored and embellished with glittering gold and silver details, the tea bowl is decorated with motifs of the rising sun and auspicious cranes in celebration of the New Year. With this decoration, Hozen revived the style of Nonomura Ninsei, the most well-known potter of late seventeenth-century Kyoto.
