- Shin Sang-ho 申相浩 (신상호Korean) b.1947 Hanamishima (花三島) Chawan.
- Mishima Yaki
This refined hana Mishima chawan is the work of renowned Korean ceramic artist Shin Sang-ho (申相浩, b. 1947). The bowl features stamped floral medallions inlaid with white slip—an homage to the Mishima technique derived from 15th-century Korean Buncheong ware. The soft gray glaze with subtle pooling, layered decoration, and slightly rustic form align perfectly with the Japanese wabi-cha aesthetic, where quiet asymmetry and tactile surfaces are celebrated. Its poetic name, 重岩涵芳 (Jūgan Kanpō)—“Layered Cliffs Imbued with Fragrance”—suggests both the visual layering of motifs and the understated elegance that permeates the vessel. This evocative title deepens the contemplative atmosphere of the tea gathering, inviting a sensory and poetic engagement with the chawan.
