{"product_id":"korean-momiji-goki-chawan","title":"Korean Momiji Goki Chawan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Goki chawan (matcha bowl) has all the hallmarks of this classic Korean style: a tall flared foot, elegant balance, and thin walls. Additionally, this chawan is made in the momiji goki style, which refers to the gohon pattern of red spots. The bowl is coated in a simple transparent glaze, so the warm tones, hue gradients, and spots all come from the clay itself as it is rapidly heated in the kiln. The small red spots form as tiny bubbles from within the clay rise to the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGoki chawan are known for their elegant, thin walls and tall, flaring feet (高台 - koudai). It is said that these chawan are named after the lacquered wooden bowls used in zen temples which are known as goki (御器 - [honourific] wares) due their shared shape of a tall, flaring foot and rounded body. At some point, the character 御 was switched to 呉. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese bowls first entered Japan during the 1400s when they were brought by Korean envoys to Daitoku-ji Temple in Kyoto. Goki chawan that were passed down through Daitoku-ji are called (unsurprisingly) Daitoku-ji Goki. Other types of Goki chawan that were brought to Japan include Momiji Goki, Ama Goki, E-goki, Bansho Goki, Yugeki goki, etc. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the handmade nature of teaware and naturalistic aesthetic of Korean ceramics, subtle variation in colour, texture, and size is to be expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis chawan was made by Karaku Kiln and comes with a paulownia wood box (kiribako - 桐箱) signed by the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karaku Kiln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548258590764,"sku":"US-M445","price":188.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/download_15f51ad3-0c5e-49d3-9740-496359ab2eac.jpg?v=1779027844","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/korean-momiji-goki-chawan","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
