Abstract

In the Japanese tea ceremony, tea tool science has been systematized enough to become a specialized academic field. Therefore, the evaluation and classification of tea utensils are also delicate. On the other hand, the artistic evaluation of the tea ceremony in Japan is not necessarily shared with art historians and historians. Japan has designated its cultural properties of high artistic, historical, and academic value as important cultural properties and national treasures. The process of designating cultural properties must involve a council consisting of professional degree holders. Therefore, one can see the evaluation that tea utensils receive in Japanese art history by analyzing the current status of tea utensils designated as important cultural properties. The results show that under the current Japanese system, there is a slight difference between the evaluation of tea utensils by academia and the evaluation of tea ceremonies. Nevertheless, as can be seen in some cases, there are also places where the tea ceremony aesthetics can be understood.
