Gagyu Kiln Japanese Rice Bowl - Egret Design

Sale price¥25,300

A rice bowl with an egret painted over milky-white hakeme (brush-stroke) marks.

An Egret with a Noble Bearing
Behind the egret, painted with a noble bearing, lie soft-toned hakeme marks that give the scene a powerful sense of presence.

A Remarkable Depth of Perspective
This remarkable depth of perspective shows why it is a traditional technique selected as intangible cultural heritage of Nagasaki Prefecture.

A Finer Moment at the Table
Imagine the many scenes drawn from the tip of the craftsman’s brush, and savour a meal raised to something special.

Why a Paulownia Box
Paulownia wood is light, resists moisture and insects, and moves with changes in humidity — which is why it has been used in Japan for centuries to store what is valuable. A piece delivered in a paulownia box arrives ready to give, and the box itself is part of the gift.

Gagyu Yokoishi

The 15th-generation Gagyu Yokoishi (Gagyu Kiln) is the only kiln that preserves the tradition of hakeme brushwork. The kiln was founded in 1602. Following Nonomura Ninsei, regarded as the founder of Kyoto ware, it became so widely known that it was called the "Ninsei of Kyushu." Designated an Intangible Cultural Property of Nagasaki Prefecture, the kiln creates works that harmonize earthy forms with delicate ornamentation, vessels that fit naturally into contemporary life.
