Producing tea ware for tea ceremonies
Yozangama is located in Izumi-cho, Toki City. Mr. Masashi Mizuno, third generation of the pottery, was awarded the 37th Takuo Prize by the Mino Ceramic Society in 2019. This award is given to those who have made efforts in fostering Mino ceramic art and excellent artist activities. He was born in Toki City in 1957 and has been recognized for his wide range of activities, including the creation of original Murasaki-Shino, Ko -Mino, and Minoyama ceramics, while preserving the historic kiln that was used by the first and second generations to make offerings of Minoyaki to the imperial family. Mr. Mizuno, who holds the title of Assistant Professor of the Urasenke School of Tea Ceremony and also teaches tea ceremony himself, mainly produces Chato, ceramics used in the tea ceremony. He is busy making pottery as he participates in exhibitions all over Japan, but he does not talk much about the process of making his works. “There is no need to talk about my hardships. The work tells you everything.” The creative activities of the artist Mizuno Masashi can be said to be a succession of inheritance of the tradition and culture of Mino-Momoyama pottery and innovation of adding a modern taste to it.

Pottery honored the name of “Nobunaga Ware”
The roots of Minoyaki go back to the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573-1603). Originally, the Mino region had a history of pottery making for over 1,400 years, and was blessed with resources such as mountain slopes suitable for building kilns, soil for materials, and red pine for firewood. The land was also suitable for transportation to Kyoto and Osaka. Oda Nobunaga, the “Shogun” (ruler during feudal Japan) of the time, took note of this and encouraged the movement of potters to Mino, linking the tea ceremony with political power and providing a foothold for the unification of Japan. After the “Honnoji Incident” in Tensho 10 (1582), the tea ceremony was further developed by Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi, his chief advisor, Sen no Rikyu, and Furuta Oribe. Until then, the mainstream of tea ceremony utensils were Chinese arabesques, but Nobunaga’s industrial promotion measures led to the birth of many famous bowls. In the modern era, tea ware named “Kiseido,” “Setoguro,” “Shino,” and “Oribe” became the foundation of Minoyaki that continues to this day. Mr. Mizuno calls them “Nobunaga ware” named after Nobunaga, the founder of the Minoyaki industry. The true meaning of this name is not only the color and shape of the ware, but also the challenge to do something completely new that no one has ever tried before. “It takes about ten years before I am satisfied with one style,” he says, “and when I get close to the ideal in ten years, it takes another ten years for the next style. That’s about how long it takes.” Mastering traditional techniques and completing a piece of pottery to his own satisfaction cannot be achieved overnight.

Giving Form to the unique Japanese Sense of Beauty
When I gently picked up one of Mr. Mizuno’s pottery, I was surprised at how light it was which was hard to imagine from its bold appearance. After molding, he takes his time to remove unnecessary parts from the outside and inside of the bowl to make it lighter, so women may easily hold it as well. Mr. Mizuno’s aesthetic sense is also reflected in the asymmetrical pottery created by hand. In Japan, there is a culture and sensibility that asymmetry is beautiful. Of course, perfectly balanced things are beautiful. However, there is an indescribable beauty to be found in a form in which imbalances are harmonized in perfect balance. In addition, the artist also shows his talent in color. For example, the emerald green shade of Oribe glaze is impressive in “Rainbow Colored Clouds”. Like clouds bathed in sunlight, beautiful rainbow colors appear depending on the angle of the light. This is another expression of beauty that can only be found in Mr. Mizuno, who respects the Japanese people’s unique sense of beauty, such as a sense of season and emotion. Finally, Mr. Mizuno names each of his finished works. The black Seto teacup, with its sturdy appearance, is named “Ikkan”, the Shino teacup, which expresses the spirit of calmly approaching things, is named “kokoroshizukani”, and the black Oribe teacup, with its “0, △, □” painted on it, is named “Heijoshin”, which expresses the idea of “not being attached, not being obsessed, not being caught up”. These are derived from the Zen philosophy that is closely connected with the tea ceremony. The work is finally completed when it is given a name.

The importance of hospitality as seen in a Tea Ceremony
The tea ceremony is a traditional style of inviting important people and serving them a light meal, sake, and tea. In addition to the decoration of the tea room, the aesthetics of the utensils, and the tea ceremony, the spiritual exchange between the host and the guest is also important. Of these, the most important is the spirit of hospitality toward the guest. Mr. Mizuno, who is well versed in the tea ceremony, always has the presence of the guest at the forefront of his work. That is why the weight, shape, and concave shape fit comfortably in the hand, and the cup is soft and comfortable to drink from. “There are some things that can only be understood by actually experiencing discomfort at a tea ceremony, not just by imagining it. The utensils created in this way are the very spirit of the tea ceremony to entertain guests. Mr. Mizuno has a message for the young people who will lead the next generation. “It’s a very tough industry. However, the future era will be created by the youth of the future. I hope that they will continue to incorporate their own senses into Minoyaki.” By continuing to take on new challenges, we are building a new era. This attitude reminds me of Nobunaga Oda, who brought many innovations to the existing social model.
