Ten Japanese Potters

Ten Japanese Potters and a Tea Ceremony

goldmark

Ever since the historic meeting in 1919, between Bernard Leach and the great Japanese potter, Shoji Hamada, British studio potters have often been inuenced by Japanese ceramics.

The tea ceremony and the tea bowl are at the heart of Japanese tradition, so it is with great pleasure that we host this exhibition.

We are delighted to be able to include both son and grandson of Shoji Hamada, and the current Living National Treasure, Jun Isezaki.

The Tea Ceremony ‘The simple act of serving tea and receiving it with gratitude is the basis for a way of life called ‘Chado’, the Way of Tea’. So wrote Soshitsu Sen XV, Urasenke Grand Tea Master. Here you have it in a nutshell. But as he went on to say, the tea ceremony embraces so much more of course, involving matters of religion, philosophy, social relations, self-discipline, and perhaps most importantly to a Western audience, art and aesthetics. But first take your mind beyond the teabowl, and into the space and light of the tea house and the choreography of the ceremony itself, its gestures, pauses and intervals. There are the various other tools of the ritual, the caddies and the vases for flowers, all part of the apparently simple act of offering and receiving a bowl of tea. The result? The occasion brings equilibrium, a sense of wholeness with one’s fellow drinkers, and the world beyond.

I am not sure that a deep understanding of the tea ceremony is so essential for a Westerner’s appreciation of the Japanese teabowl on a purely physical level. However, the traditional examination of the bowl in tea drinking is a wonderful introduction to ceramics appreciation

as a whole. The teabowl is, after all, pottery in its most concentrated state. As the art historian Philip Rawson wrote ‘the language of directly modelled form could thus be used quite consciously and deliberately as a medium for communication between hand and hand among people sharing common interests and insights’.

A teabowl teaches us so much about variegation of glaze and texture, about the character of the foot and the lip, about symmetry and asymmetry, about notions of perfection and imperfection.

And as Rawson says ‘For prolonged meditative sipping, bowls are nursed in the cupped palms, and so they become a focus for tactile as well as visual contemplation’. Here are objects to explore with the hands as well as the eyes, touchstones to return to continuously. This is why an Eastern object has been so enthusiastically co-opted by many Western potters too.

It is a vehicle for their own investigations into clay, and for our own sensory fulfilment.
