Teabowl with Rising Sun and Crane
Eiraku Hozen was a prominent ceramist at a time when imperial temples and daimyo households were beginning to commission wares from the potters of Kyoto. This tea bowl is decorated with motifs of the rising sun and auspicious cranes in celebration of the New Year, brightly colored and embellished glittering gold and silver details. Hozen revived the style of Nonomura Ninsei, the most well-known potter of mid- to late seventeenth-century Kyoto.
