Kiyomizu Ware – Red Raku Matcha Bowl by Sasaki Shoraku
Introducing a Red Raku Matcha Bowl crafted by Sasaki Shoraku, a distinguished potter of Kiyomizu ware.
Raku ware is said to have been founded by Ameya, a naturalized craftsman and father of Chōjirō, the first head of the Raku family. The name “Raku” originated when Tanaka Sōkei received a gold seal inscribed with the character 「樂」 (“Raku,” meaning joy or ease) from Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Raku ware emerged along with the flourishing of the tea ceremony and is a uniquely Japanese creation. Its texture, form, and color all perfectly embody the spirit of chanoyu (the Way of Tea).
It is said that Sen no Rikyū personally instructed Chōjirō, the first generation of the Raku lineage, in the making of Raku tea bowls.
Early Red Raku bowls were made using Juraku clay, covered with a red slip and a highly transparent glaze, then fired at a relatively low temperature.
Raku ware is a type of soft, hand-molded pottery, and Red Raku in particular was favored by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
This tea bowl is of a standard size.
The body appears to have a slight constriction at the center, giving it a subtle waist.
Its walls rise almost straight with little curvature, giving it a cylindrical appearance, and the rim turns gently inward.
The front of the bowl features a darkened (blackened) area, making its orientation easy to recognize.
The surface has a lustrous sheen, and the bowl is thinly formed and lightweight. It fits comfortably in the hands, making it pleasant to hold and easy to use.
This Red Raku bowl allows one to fully appreciate the refined beauty and tactile charm that define the appeal of Raku tea bowls.
