Momoyama-Spirit Oribe Kutsu Chawan｜Asymmetrical Tea Bowl
This Oribe kutsu chawan embodies the radical spirit of Momoyama tea culture.
Its intentionally distorted “kutsu” form rejects symmetry, allowing the bowl to sit with a subtle forward tension — a quiet sense of movement even at rest.
The deep green Oribe glaze pools and breaks across the surface, revealing iron-rich clay beneath. Each mark is the result of chance, flame, and gravity.
Created not as decoration, but for use, this tea bowl brings sculptural presence to both the tea room and the modern table.
One of a kind.
