Perhaps inspired by the recently created 引き出し黒 (hikidashi-guro) technique used to produce the Seto-guro style of black chawan, Rikyu collaborated with tile-maker Chojiro to produce a new style of ware for use in the tea ceremony. Hand-formed from porous clay rather than wheel-thrown, Raku chawan are then coated in a lead glaze, fired at low temperatures, and removed from the kiln while still glowing hot. Most Raku chawan exist in two styles: Aka-raku (red raku), and Kuro-raku (black raku). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11.3cm (4.4in) - width\u003cbr\u003e8.3cm (3.3in) - height\u003cbr\u003e475ml - capacity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Very good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage Japanese item ships from Thailand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548272910380,"sku":"TH-M214","price":124.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/download_89362236-ffc7-452d-a5a4-127a8eb2da91.jpg?v=1779028183","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-matcha-bowl-aka-raku-chawan-475ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
