Lot Essay
The natural cloud and spot staining that appear on this bowl are known in Japan as amamori, literally means rain leaks, after the pattern of stains left on a roof after it has leaked. Amamori and keshiki (‘scenery’ on the surface created during the kiln in the firing process that cannot be controlled) have been highly praised and appreciated by the Japanese, especially in tea circles, for centuries in the traditional aesthetic value of wabi-sabi that invites meditation on the acceptance of transience and imperfection of all objects in life. This bowl was possibly named after Ogurayama, the mountain in Kyoto.
