Japanese Antique Sanage Kiln Gray Glazed Yama Chawan Fragment Pottery Wabi Sabi Style
This is a Japanese antique Yama Chawan (mountain tea bowl) fragment from the Sanage kiln system, dating from the late Heian to early Kamakura period (12th century).
This piece consists of multiple bowls naturally fused together during kiln firing, later fractured by time and soil pressure.
Its weathered surface and partial glaze remain capture the ancient firing atmosphere and embody the essence of wabi-sabi — the serene beauty of imperfection and transience.
