Some viewers might be puzzled to find a “tea bowl” made by an artisan who carried the name or title of 8th generation Kenzan. The first generation Kenzan Ogata is a superstar of potter/ceramicist from Kyoto, born in 1658.
After the 3d generation, the lineage became questionable and self-appointed. The famous potter Bernard Leach once called himself as 6th generation of Kenzan. 8th generation Kenzan, who created this bowl was born in 1916, and the year of his death is unknown. His other name was Yamamoto Josen.

Most of the time, the 8th Kenzan made tea bowls and other utensils for tea ceremonies in the well-known style of Ogata Kenzan.

This one is different, and it has a design of willow trees in a free and fluid line. The bowl is perfect for enjoying a bowl of tea in a casual setting. To enjoy a bowl of Matcha, you do not need Tea Room and all the gears. You only need one round wooden tray and 3 or 4 utensils. You could also use it in many other ways. I would enjoy cold Hōji-cha (roasted green tea) in summer afternoon in a shade..
