This is a tea ceremony utensil: a tea bowl, Enso Tenmoku, with calligraphy by the late Abbot Kankei of Daitoku-ji Temple, and a written inscription by Fusensai. It is in a beautiful, near-new condition. This Enso Tenmoku tea bowl is a distinguished piece with a powerful Tenmoku shape and a serene, spreading landscape of soft ash glaze. The natural flow and gradations unique to ash glaze are born only through dialogue with the flames. Its irregular scenery perfectly embodies the beauty of "ichigo ichie" (one time, one meeting), resonating deeply with the essence of the tea ceremony. An Enso is a circle symbolizing enlightenment, truth, and completeness in Zen Buddhism. The brushwork of Abbot Kankei combines tranquility and tension, harboring deep spirituality within each character. Furthermore, having received a written inscription by the tenth head of the Matsuo school, Fusensai, this bowl has gained a certain status in the world of tea ceremony.
