Matcha bowl / IRAHO

Iraho matcha bowl made by Shôzan Sakuma (1906-1998) at the Matsuko kiln in Matsuzaka, Mie Prefecture.

Irabo tea bowls are a type of Korai tea bowl, most of which are thought to have been made to order from Japan to Korea in the early 17th century. The name Irabo is believed to derive from their sandy texture, which is rough to the touch.
