Karatsu ware is a traditional style of Japanese pottery from Saga Prefecture, known for its simplicity, durability, and use in tea ceremonies. It originated in the Azuchi-Momoyama period (16th century) and incorporates techniques from Korea. Various styles exist, with distinct earthy colours and iron-based under-glazes. Karatsu ware is often celebrated for embodying the wabi-sabi aesthetic, emphasising rustic beauty and imperfection. It remains one of the most esteemed types of pottery in Japan.
This set of five yunomi tea cups crafted by the Nakazato Tarouemon Kiln showcase a handful of Karatsu ware decorations: Ao-Garatsu (Blue/Green), E-Garatsu (Painted), Chosen-Karatsu (Korean), Madara-Karatsu (Mottled), and Kuro-garatsu (Black). A charming set, perfect for tea; with original box in unused condition. less
