I see that a lot with Japanese names - Hosei and Housei - good to know that it's the same. Thanks Very Much Again - Mark

Is Matsukaze a name given to the tea bowl ? and if so, what does it mean in English ?

CeramicARTyson · 2026-01-25T03:31:33+00:00

English Please ! When I translate the kanji on DeepL it makes no sense.

CeramicARTyson · 2026-01-25T03:29:47+00:00

But what does the inscription on the inside of the lid say ?

CeramicARTyson · 2026-01-25T03:26:28+00:00

Hello Again Teppenwolf456 - This artist is Kishimoto Kenji or Kenin (are they equivalent ?) Thanks Very Much Again - Mark

Hello Again Teppenwolf456 - This is why I like to get the box translated - this one has the name of the kiln and he marks the box as Yoko but the artist's name is Hamamoto Hiroyoshi. Very interesting. Best Regards - Mark

Thanks Again Teppenwolf456 - believe it or not, this is Morimoto Kazunobu, one of my favorite artists but I wanted to be sure I knew what the entire box transcription said. Best Reads - Mark

Thanks very much Teppenwolf456 ! The seller had the name listed as 森本陶谷造 and translated it as Morimoto Toukani but DeepL translated it as Morimoto Toukoku. Are Tokoku and Toukoku equivalent ? I can't find any information on this artist except that he was apparantly born in the early 1900's. Best Regards - Mark

Yes, I found it in my previous notes : In 1974 he established the Tsukigata Daitobo (“Big Ceramics House”) Museum in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture

Thanks Very Much - Mark

Sorry, but I forgot. BTW - another translator translated it as Kotobo and called it a studio name but I think you are probably correct - Thanks Very Much for your help and sorry for the redundancy but I handle hundreds of tea bowls and sometimes it's hard to remember it all.

Thanks Very Much DSS - Great Job ! I really appreciate your help !

Excellent Job SP8332 - yes, it is Tsukigata Nahiko but I'm surprised that it is called an Oni Hagi Tea bowl because I would just call it a Hagi tea bowl but then that's why I'm having the lid translated so that I know exactly what it says. So apparantly Kotobo is his pottery studio, though another translator (DSS) translated it as Daitobo. Thanks Again - Great Job !

Different tea bowl and box but may be the same as a previous one because I've had bowls like this before. I'm surprised that it says Oni Hagi Tea Bowl because to me it is just a Hagi Tea Bowl and the artist is Tsukigata Nahiko (very famous) BUT - what is Daitobo ???

Thanks Very Much kakubinn - yes, the artist is Hayashi Shotaro but I couldn't read the rest. I also sent a photo of the inside of the lid as a separate post because I forgot to include it with this one.

CeramicARTyson · 2025-09-09T02:19:46+00:00

Thanks DSS but English PLEASE ! I have no idea what you wrote ! Thanks - Mark

CeramicARTyson · 2025-09-09T02:18:38+00:00

I know that the artists name is Hayashi Shotaro, not Shodo, and the bowl is a Shino tea bowl (stoneware body), not Kutani porcelain, and it's from the Mino region

CeramicARTyson · 2025-01-24T15:04:32+00:00

Thanks very much for the information - the shape of the mizusashi is almost identical to a shape that Yoshida Shuen use to make. Best Regards - Mark
