大樋焼十一代長左衛門窯 大樋美術館 大樋ギャラリー

大樋焼は寛文六年(1666 年)加賀藩五代藩主前田綱紀候が、千宗室仙叟(裏千家始 祖)を茶道奉行として京都より金沢に招いた際に、楽家四代・一入の高弟 であっ た長左衞門が同道し茶碗などを制作したことに始まります。以来、各代が大樋長 左衞門として 350 年以上にわたり作品を生み出してきました。武家屋敷 (金沢市 指定建造物)である当家には幾つかの茶室、樹齢 500 年の赤松「折鶴の松」(金沢 市指定樹木)などがあります。大樋美術館には歴代の作品をはじ め、今日まで当 家と関わった文化人や芸術家などが残していった作品や資料を公開しています。 また、邸内の「大樋ギャラリー」茶室「年々庵」などは、建築家 •隈研吾氏設計 によるもので、十代長左衞門(陶冶斎・年朗)、十一代長左衞門(年雄)などの作品 が紹介され、実際に茶を喫することもできるようになって います。

In 1666 the fifth

lord of the Maeda family, Lord Maeda Tsunanori, invited to Kanazawa the fourth generation tea master of the Urasenke tradition, Senso Sosh*tsu, to be an official magistrate of chado, or what is known as the tea ceremony. Chozaemon, a close disciple of Ichinyu, the fourth generation head of the Raku family of potters,
accompanied the tea master Senso to Kanazawa and began to produce tea bowls. Since then each generation of the Ohi tradition bears the name Chozaemon and for over 350 years has continued to produce ceramic wares. Within the museum complex is a samurai residence, which has been officially recognized by the city of Kanazawa as a historical architectural structure, several tea rooms, and an ancient 500-year-old red pine tree, which bears the name “Orizuru” (the name of “folded crane” refers to the folded origami crane) and is recognized by the city
of Kanazawa for its historical significance. On display in the Ohi Museum are examples of the work of each generation of Ohi master potter, along with the works and documents of the cultural elites and artists connected with the Ohi family. The Ohi Gallery and tearoom known as “Nennen’an” were designed by the architect Kengo Kuma. In the gallery you can enjoy a bowl of green tea while learning more about the works of the 10th generation Ohi Chozaemon (Toshiro Toyasai) and his son, the 11th generation Ohi Toshio.
