EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tea-leaf storage jar named Chigusa, dating back to the mid 13th to mid 14th century. Created by the Japanese School during the Southern Song Dynasty, this stoneware vessel with an iron glaze exudes timeless elegance and cultural significance. Measuring at approximately 41.6 x 36.6 cm (16 3/8 x 14 7/16 in), this exquisite jar features a brown and black glaze that adds depth and richness to its appearance. The vessel mouth has a diameter of about 12.9 cm (5 1/16 in), while the foot measures around 16.5 cm (6 1/2 in). Its craftsmanship reflects the mastery of ceramic artistry prevalent during the Yuan Dynasty. Chigusa holds great importance within Japanese tea culture, particularly during tea ceremonies held between the late medieval period and early modern times. This tea leaf storage jar, or "chatsubo" played a vital role in preserving and presenting high-quality teas for esteemed guests. Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the United States, this piece was acquired through Charles Lang Freer Endowment's purchase. With its historical value and artistic allure, Chigusa serves as a testament to Japan's rich heritage and enduring fascination with tea cultivation.
