Product Description
The origins of the raku-yaki tea bowl date back 430 years.
Raku-yaki was the creation of Sen no Rikyuu, founder of the wabi-cha Japanese tea ceremony, who had tea bowls made fitting to his ideal of the tea ceremony.
This work expresses the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, which centers on the acceptance of transience and imperfection in nature.
The beauty of the insulated material combines with the property of slowly-cooling hot water. In addition, the tea’s green color goes very well with the raku-yaki, the black variety in particular.
The thickness and glaze present from the tea bowl’s rim to the body resemble a curtain. For this reason, it is known as maku-gusuri (glazed curtain).
This work is by Genya Sonobe, a highly regarded and very popular Japanese artist who embodies the modern raku-yaki.
Diameter 12.0cm
Height 8.5cm
Also included: Paulownia wooden box, spare cloth, artist's short personal history guide.
