Shichikan-Celadon
Shichikan-celadon is celadon that was fired in the longquan-kiln mainly during the late ming dynasty. It is known that the origin of the name is said to have been brought to japan by an official of the seventh rank（seven officials of the ming dynasty）. It has a transparent celadon color with a strong luster like vidro, and while kinuta-celadon and tenryu-ji-celadon do not have many crazes, many works of shichikan-celadon that have rough crazes are noticeable. While there are large works of tenryu-ji-celadon, there are more small works of shichikan-celadon. The main works are vase, incense burner, incense container, stationery, and the vase and famous incense container used in the tea ceremony is particularly highly valued.
