| igayaki 伊賀焼 | ||||||
| CATEGORY: art history / crafts | ||||||
| Iga 伊賀 ware. A stoneware ceramic made in Iga (now Maruhashira 丸柱 village ), Mie prefecture and in a few nearby villages. The kiln had long produced utilitarian vessels but these were also used in tea ceremonies *chanoyu 茶湯, with the rise of *wabi わび taste under Sen no Rikyuu 千利休 (1522 -91). The dark brown color produced through oxidation, rich surface textures created by extra-long firing,and distorted shape of the ware made it popular with tea enthusiasts. Tsutsui Sadatsugu 筒井定次 (1562-1615), daimyou 大名 of Iga from 1585 to 1608, comissioned the first igayaki for the tea ceremony, now called Tsutsui Iga 筒井伊賀. Wares made when the tea adept Lord Toudou Takatora 籐堂高虎 (1556-1630) took control are called Toudou Iga 籐堂伊賀. Ko-iga 古伊賀 (old Iga) was made at kilns in Maruhashira and Makiyama 槙山. The Maruhashira kiln stopped production in about 1638. Typical Iga vessels are hanaike 花生(flower vases) and mizusashi 水指 (water jugs), *chawan 茶碗 tea bowls, *kougou 香合 (incense container) , and *kensui 建水 (rinse-water container). | ||||||
