その器形をみると、最も多いのは大小の皿で、とくに径が三十センチをこえる大皿（盤）がめだって多い。たいがい平鉢ともいわれるような深めの大皿で、縁を鍔状に平らにのばしたもの、わずかに折り曲げたもの、まっすぐ立上がらせたものなど、いくつかの形式がある。小皿は五客、十客のセットで日本に伝わったものがあるが、大皿にくらべるとはるかに少量である。茶道具として喜ばれるのは鉢と香合で、菓子器としての鉢は、内面見込みのもようから玉取獅子、魁手、尾長鳥、魚手、麒麟手などと区別されている。また香合は赤玉丸、四方入角、菊兎、酒会、平丸などがあって、とくに小ぶりの赤玉小丸は数が少ないため声価が高いといわれる。大ぶりの壷や花瓶、徳利などのいわゆる袋物もいくらかあるが、皿にくらべるとごく少量である。水注や香炉などの複雑な器形や、碗・盃のような小品はごく稀で、器種はおよそ限られているといってよい。 | Translation - English
The most common shapes were large and small plates. Large plates over thirty centimeters in diameter were especially common. Generally, these large plates were deep enough to be called flat bowls, but there were several types of shapes. Some large plates had flat, extended rims like Japanese sword guards, others had rims that were slightly curved, and still others had rims that stood straight up. Small plates were transmitted to Japan in sets of five or ten, and are much less common than large plates. Items favored for tea ceremony were deep bowls and incense cases. Deep bowls used as containers for sweets had designs of a lion playing with the celestial sphere, a portent symbol, long-tailed birds, fish, and qilin (deer-like legendary animals). Some incense cases had shapes of square boxes with indented corners or wine jars or flat round cases; some had designs of a large red circle (akadama) or a rabbit and chrysanthemums. Especially valued, because they were rare, were small incense cases with a small red circle. There were many other types of vessels, such as jugs, vases, and wine servers, but they were few in number compared to plates. Complex shapes, such as pitchers and incense burners, and small items, such as bowls and cups, were extremely rare. It is thus safe to say that the types of pieces were limited. |
