十一代空権　作　楽山焼茶碗　共箱でございます。
 
縦×横×高さ:15cm×15cm×6cm
 
楽山焼は出雲で造られる焼き物であり、江戸前期の慶安頃に創始し、その後の延宝頃に技術指南のため長門国萩から倉崎権兵衛を指南役に当たらせ、萩の系統に近い茶碗や盃の類を製作。倉崎権兵衛を初代として、その後4代まで続けるが、暇を出したため一時的に御焼物師が空座となるが、松平不昧が布志名焼の陶工長岡住右衛門に楽山焼の再興を依頼、後に5代目当主となる。その後空斎、空味、空権と続いていく。
 
 
この作品は、小砂を混ざる土で薄く造られていて、またざらざらとする手触りが特徴であり伊羅保を元とする作品であり、楽山焼の典型的なものとなっております。
 
 
Potter:Kuu-gon (11th generation in the head of Rakuzanyaki Ware)
Work: Ceramic tea bowl of Rakuzanyaki ware, with za signed box
Width×Width×Height:15cm×15cm×6cm
 
This is a ceramic tea bowl that was created by Kuu-gon (11th generation of the leader in Rakuzanyaki ware). Furnace of Rakuzan yaki(Present Matsue city in Shimane prefecture) ware was built around 1650's, and then the furnace was started in earnest after  a feudal lord in Matsue city asked a popular potter(Kurasaki, Gonbei) to stay and create potteries in good quality. Kurasaki achieved creating good tea bowl, Japanese sake cups that imitated Hagi ware(Present Yamaguchi prefecture) and took over his disciple. The 11th generation Kuu-gon was the grandson of 9th generation Kuu-mi.
Rakuzan yaki ware has been good at creating works that imitate "Irabo" style, which seems one of styles from Korean peninsula around 15th and 16th century. This tea bowl has thinner body and mouth area and rough touch feeling, so these are characteristics for Irabo.
