Raku-ware is know for being Hand-formed from porous clay.
The Shape of the Bowl is called Hissen gata.
The owner of the antique store where we bought this Bowl told us the bowl has been made a long time ago. Approximately more than 50 year ago in the city of Kyoto.
The ceramic piece is very delicate, and made especially to isolate the heat from the Matcha in the Bowl so that it can’t be Felt while holding it.
we called this Matcha bowl Juraku
the Raku ware pottery style was originally called Juraku-yaki because this style of ceramics was orignially fired on the grounds of Hideyoshi’s Jurakudai palace.
