Seto Ware Kimura Katsuaki (Gassensai Hakuto) Blue and White Senju Rojin Tea Bowl with Tomobako Box

A classic Seto ware tea bowl featuring delicate underglaze blue brushwork. Crafted by artist Katsuaki Kimura under the art name Gasensai Hakuto, this chawan depicts Senju Rojin, an immortal figure symbolizing longevity. It comes brand new, complete with its original signed wooden box (tomobako), preserving its traditional presentation.

Seto ware is one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan, with a history of ceramic production dating back over a thousand years. Prized for refined artistry and beautiful glazes, Seto pottery has long held a cherished place in Japanese tea ceremony culture.

This piece offers a lovely connection to that historic craft, whether put to use in daily tea preparation or displayed as a quiet centerpiece.
