There are very few Kizeto tea bowls that originated as tea bowls, and only a few remain, including the series of Kizeto tea bowls that are said to have been favored by Kitamukai Douchen during the Rikyu period, as mentioned above, and tea bowls with the “Asahina” inscription. Many of the tea bowls used today are thought to have been converted from mukozuke, but this Kizeto tea bowl is also a unique work. However, compared to “Asahina,” the style is somewhat different, with a thin body and a vertical spatula on the body. The glaze is similar to that of Kizeto ceramics, and it is assumed that this bowl was probably fired in the kiln of the Motoyashiki.
