Its tall cylindrical shape, accented by bold cuts, helps keep the tea warm during the colder months. It features the undulating 'mountain path' (山道 - yamamichi) lip that many Raku bowls are known for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade by the Kiyomizu-based Heian Seiraku Kiln (平安清楽窯), this chawan ships in its original tomobako (wooden paulownia box).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of Japan's most recognisable styles, Raku-yaki (楽焼) or Raku ware was developed by famous tea master Sen-no-Rikyu in the late 16th century. 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). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9.6cm (3.8in) - width\u003cbr\u003e9.6cm (3.8in) - height\u003cbr\u003e425ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vintage Japanese item ships from the United States\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548467126316,"sku":"US-M6","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1DYxF85UgWA4WlfTnuotZfyTeSHx0PrHs.jpg?v=1779031652","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-matcha-bowl-heian-seiraku-kiln-red-yamamichi-aka-raku-winter-chawan-425ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
