About Kiln

This Matcha bowl comes with a paulownia box with the title of Matcha bowl and the name of Kiln 楽山 (Rakuzan).  This is a certification to show the origin of the bowl and the successive owners (if there are) which are written in ink on the box and it is called 箱書き Hakogaki.

The artist is 清水日呂志 Kiyomizu Hiroshi who is the 3rd generation of this Kiln.

A paper slip of his artist activities between 1959 – 1992 is also enclosed.  One can assume that this bowl was produced at least 25 years ago.

At the back of the bowl, there is a stamp of 楽山 (Rakuzan).
