Special Pottery Workshop "Creating an Oil Spot Tenmoku Tea Bowl" on February 8

A special hands-on event held on the same day as Asahiyaki’s monthly tea ceremony (Tsukigama).


On this day, you can enjoy a truly unique experience — creating your own replica of a famous tea bowl.
Not only will you make a bowl, but you’ll also learn about the history and aesthetics of chatō (tea ceramics) through a short lecture.


This time, participants will create an Oil Spot Tenmoku Tea Bowl (Yuteki Tenmoku), featuring a jet-black surface dotted with countless oil-like splatters.
Black-glazed tea bowls produced at the Jian Kiln in Fujian Province during China's Southern Song Dynasty (12th-13th centuries) are called Jianzhan.


As a special gift, all participants will receive a ticket to the same day’s Tsukigama tea gathering.
Please enjoy the tea ceremony at your own pace until around 3:00 p.m.
