The Beauty of Pottery in the Momoyama Period
The Tokugawa and Gotoh Museums possess a large number of excellent tea ceremony utensils. This book is the catalog of the joint exhibition "Master Tea Bowls: The Beauty of Pottery in the Momoyama" held in 2002 by the two museums.

A list of all the tea bowls is included at the end of the catalog in English.
Comments from us
This 2002 exhibition was very well received. We highly recommend this catalog, which allows readers to enjoy many of these famous bowls. In 2005, the two museums collaborated again to hold an exhibition of famous tea bowls. This exhibition focused on famous bowls from the Edo period. Catalogs for both exhibitions are also available as a set.
