11th Ohi Chozaemon Ware/Ohi Museum/Ohi Gallery

4.0

Ohi ware is a type of pottery. Records state the origins of this pottery date back to when Maeda Tsunanori, the fifth lord of Kaga Domain, invited tea ceremony master Senso Soshitsu to Kaga to popularize the tea ceremony in the area; during his stay, Senso used clay from the outlying village of Ohi (now the neighborhood of Ohi-machi) to create tea cups. Ohi ware is shaped entirely by hand without the use of a potter’s wheel and is covered with a traditional ameyu glaze. The art museum standing on the studio’s grounds, open year-round, displays examples of Ohi ware made by the first Chozaemon head potter to the current head, as well as tea ceremony implements strongly connected to the old Kaga Domain. The studio’s Edo period samurai residence is a Kanazawa Designated Preservation Structure.

ミシュラン一つ星

金沢市橋場町にあります、金沢市の陶芸家大樋長左衛門の窯の敷地内にあります見ごたえがある美術品が並びます美術館では珍しいミシュラン一つ星に認定されています。
松も見どころ

大樋焼の窯元でギャラリーと中でお茶もいただける施設です。京都の裏千家から加賀に茶道が伝わり、その後加賀藩に厚く保護されて今に至ったそうです。ちょっと変わった型の「聖」だったかな？それの価値は私などにはわかりません。庭の折鶴の松は外で見た方が全景を見られます。
大樋焼をゆっくり見れました。

夫婦で金沢に来ました。妻は刺繍の体験の間、大樋焼美術館に行って来ました。飴釉の茶碗は思ったよりは黒色に近く、初代の作品は小振りで渋く見ていて楽しみました。美術館は私一人でしたので、ゆっくり何度も見て回りました。その後、五代の茶碗でお茶を頂きました。素晴らしい時を過ごせました。
