Mino Ware and Tea Ceremony

Mino ware and tea ceremony both rose to prominence in the tumultuous years of the Warring States period (1467–1568). The surge in popularity was largely due to the influence of warlord Oda Nobunaga (1534–1582). Nobunaga brought much of Honshu under his control through military conquest, and he is known as one of the “great unifiers of Japan.” Beginning in 1567, Nobunaga made nearby Gifu Castle his primary residence and base of operations. Nobunaga was an avid practitioner of tea ceremony, as was his successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537–1598). At the time, tea ceremony played an important role in political negotiations: leaders like Nobunaga awarded valuable tea implements to their favored lieutenants and used the ceremony as an opportunity to meet and broker power.

Nobunaga studied tea ceremony under the tea master Sen no Rikyū (1522–1591), whose teachings form the basis of most modern schools of tea ceremony. From his influential position, Rikyū validated the artistic merit of irregular, earthy Japanese pottery, including Mino ware such as Oribe, Kizeto, Seto-guro, and Shino wares. The rustic simplicity of Mino ware thus became a mark of sophistication in tearooms across Nobunaga’s territory.

In this exhibit, the important intersection of Mino ware and tea ceremony is evidenced by the many tea implements on display. The exhibit contains tea bowls (in which the tea is whisked), cha-ire (tea caddies for powdered tea), mizusashi (jars containing fresh water to replenish the kettle and clean the whisk), and suichū (ewers used to refill the mizusashi at the close of the ceremony).

美濃燒與茶道

美濃燒和茶道之所以同時興起於動盪的日本戰國時代（1467-1568），很大程度上是受到了織田信長（1534-1582）的影響。織田信長身為「天下人」之一，武力征服了本州大部分地區，於1567年入住岐阜城。他和繼任者豐臣秀吉（1537-1598）都熱衷茶道，並使之成為當時政治協商中的重要角色。他們會將珍貴的茶具作為獎賞賜給愛將近臣，以舉辦茶會為名會晤各方、積極斡旋。

織田信長從千利休（1522-1591）那裡學習了茶道，後者是現代茶道眾多流派的奠基人，以其尊崇的地位認可了日本陶瓷器的藝術價值——不規則中的樸素之美，其中就包括美濃燒中的織部、黃瀨戶、瀨戶黑、志野等流派。而美濃燒的樸素之美也成為了織田信長領地的茶室高品味的象徵。

本處展覽主要體現美濃燒與茶道的密切關聯。為數眾多的展品中包括茶碗（攪打茶沫的容器）、茶入（抹茶罐）、水指（水罐，罐內的清水用於燒煮添茶及清洗茶筅）和水注（茶會結束時用來給水指添水的水壺）等。

美浓烧与茶道

美浓烧和茶道同样兴起于动荡的日本战国时代(1467-1568)，这在很大程度上受到了织田信长(1534-1582)的影响。织田信长身为“天下人”之一，武力征服了本州大部分地区，于1567年入住岐阜城。他和继任者丰臣秀吉(1537-1598)都热衷茶道，并使之成为了当时政治活动中的重要角色。他们会将珍贵的茶具作为奖赏赐给爱将近臣，以举办茶会为介会晤各方势力。

织田信长从千利休(1522-1591)那里学习了茶道，后者是现代茶道众多流派的奠基人，以其尊崇的地位认证了日本陶瓷器的艺术价值——不规则中的朴素之美，其中就包括美浓烧中的织部、黄濑户、濑户黑、志野等流派。而美浓烧的朴素之美也成为了织田信长领地内茶室高品味的象征。

本处展览主要体现美浓烧与茶道的密切关联。为数众多的展品中包括茶碗（搅打茶沫的容器）、茶入（抹茶罐）、水指（水罐，罐内的清水用于烧煮添茶及清洗茶筅）和水注（茶会结束时用来给水指添水的水壶）等。
