A very rare 19th century tea bowl by Ohashi Shuji enclosed in the original wooden box signed by both the artist and a tea aficionado named Horinouchi Fusensai. It is 10 cm (4 inches) diameter, 12 cm (just less than 5 inches) tall and in excellent condition.
Ohashi Shuji (1795-1857) studied medicine before coming to pottery at the age of 37. A practitioner of the Hisada School of tea, he studied in Kyoto under Ogata Shuhei, and was adept at many styles. <br> Horinouchi Fusensai (1889 – 1945) was the 10th head of the Horinouchi school of tea.
