One of the Korean tea bowls. It is named after its origin in Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do Province. The two-character engraved inscription of “Gimhae” at the time is sufficient proof of this. The glaze color is white and gorgeous. The peach shape is the most common type, followed by the Shuhama shape. Clay is rarely seen.
The first type is the high plateau type, and the second is the ring plateau type. The construction is thin. The handles with cat-scrapers are considered to be of the newer period. The painted gold sea is a later process. The most famous tea bowls of this type are those inscribed “Seiohbo,” “Tohosaku,” and “Fujinami,” as well as a Kinkai bowl from the collection of the Matsuoka family in Kanazawa, which was handed down from Otsu Kagigo.
