Kobori Enshu (last name first in Japanese) was a famous tea master, painter, poet, architect, and garden designer. He lived from 1579 to 1647. He was probably most noted for the tea ceremony. He favored seven styles of pottery for the tea ceremony.
Asahi (Kyoto)
Agano (Fukuoka)
Akahada (Nara)
Kosobe (Osaka)
Shidoro (Shizuoka)
Takatori (Fukuoka)
Zeze (Shiga)
You are invited to come along with me as I learn about Japanese ceramics. I will share what I learn about the kilns, history, terminology, potters, decorators, styles, and marks. This is a work in progress. ** NOTICE: I DO NOT ANSWER QUERIES ON PERSONAL PIECES. I DO NOT GIVE VALUATIONS. General comments and questions will still be accepted.
