Did You Know?

Many ceramics created by the Seifū Studio refer to and emulate Chinese ceramics in form and glazing.

Description

The box for this sweets bowl has an attestation by Yohei IV that it is a work by Yohei III and in the hisokuyō (C. mise yao), or “mysterious color ware,” style. In fact, as actual examples of mise ware were unknown in Yohei III’s time, he would have associated the color with the green-glazed ceramics of kilns at Longquan, also in Zhejiang Province, produced during the Yuan dynasty.
