Raku-yaki brown-red matcha bowl made by Shôraku Sasaki III (1944-) from the Shoraku kiln in Kyoto.
This tea bowl is a reproduction of "Muichimotsu," a representative example of Chojiro's red Raku tea bowl. Chojiro I, the founder of Raku pottery, was one of Kyoto's leading potters during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1603). Raku pottery is characterized by the "tezukune" (hand-molding) technique and low-temperature firing (750°C - 1200°C) in a small kiln. Tezukune molding is a pottery-making method that involves kneading the clay by hand without using a potter's wheel, then shaping it by scraping it with a spatula.
