23026 RAKU Tannyu (10th Generation)

Height 6.0cm Diameter 5.8cm

Judai Tan'nyū created a new and unprecedented form that incorporated the styles of Kuniyaki tea bowls and Goryeo tea bowls, and reflected the trends of the late Edo period and his experience with the Kishu Tokugawa clan. The floral motifs painted in red paint create a magnificent piece.

▼Artist information [10th Raku Kichizaemon (Dan'yu)] As one of the Ten Craftsmen of the Sen family, he served Ryōjōsai Sōza and Kyūōsai Sōza well, and was given the title of Dan'yu by Kyūōsai Sōza (Sōtan). In addition to working on the Tokugawa family's garden ware in 1819, he was ordered to go to Kishu for the second time in 1828, and worked at the Kairakuen kiln in Nanki together with Kyūōsai Sōza, the 10th Eiraku Ryōzen, and the 11th Eiraku Hozon, where he received a Raku seal in handwritten clerical script from Lord Chihō, which he used as his main seal. In terms of style, he inherited his father Ryōnyu's excellent spatula technique, and was able to create different charms depending on the angle of the tea bowl, and he left behind many small pieces of work.
