Shōraku Kiln Black Raku Painting different-Glaze Flat Matcha Bowl by Shōraku Sasaki
Introducing a Black Raku matcha bowl from the Shōraku kiln, created by Shōraku Sasaki.
Raku ware is said to have been founded by the immigrant candy maker (and father of the first head of the Raku family, Chōjirō), and it is believed that the name “Raku” was adopted after Sen no Rikyū received the “Raku” gold seal from Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Raku ware emerged as a uniquely Japanese creation alongside the rise of the tea ceremony, and its characteristics—such as texture, shape, and color—are all in harmony with the spirit of the tea ceremony.
There are two main types of Raku ware: Red Raku (Aka-raku) and Black Raku (Kuro-raku). Black Raku has long been made using Kamo River stones.
A black, opaque glaze is applied to the pottery, which is then fired in a small kiln with a bellows (a device that blows air to promote combustion). The pottery is removed from the kiln, which has been heated by charcoal to a red-hot temperature, and immediately immersed in hot water.
The vivid black color and the soft texture unique to Raku ware are achieved through this immersion process.
It is said that Sen no Rikyū favored Black Raku.
A flat matcha bowl is characterized by a wider mouth and a lower height compared to a standard matcha bowl. This design allows the matcha to cool more quickly, making it ideal for enjoying tea in warmer weather.
The wide mouth is designed to cool the matcha faster, allowing the guest to enjoy a refreshing cup of tea, reflecting the host’s thoughtful hospitality.
This matcha bowl features a painting different-glaze technique known as kakewake. In kakewake, two different glazes are applied to opposite halves of the vessel to create a striking contrast in color.
The bowl is made with a yellowish-brown clay body, with black glaze applied to one half, allowing the natural texture of the clay to be appreciated as well. The rim of the bowl is slightly turned up, making it shallow enough to prevent spillage, yet still easy to whisk and serve matcha.
This matcha bowl is very light, with a size that fits comfortably in the hand, making it both practical and easy to handle.

松乐窑 黑乐 掛分 平茶碗
这是一款由佐佐木松乐创作的松乐窑黑乐茶碗的介绍。
乐烧被认为是由归化人（乐家初代长次郎的父亲）飴屋所创，而田中宗庆从丰臣秀吉那里获得了“乐”字的金印，之后乐烧的称号便由此产生。
乐烧是随着茶道的兴盛而诞生的日本独特工艺，其质地、形状、颜色等特征完美契合了茶道精神。
乐烧主要有赤乐和黑乐两种，其中黑乐自古以来就使用了賀茂川石。
黑乐茶器在烧制时会先涂上不透明的黑釉，然后使用小型窑炉并安装风箱（用于送风促进燃烧），将茶器放入炭火中加热，当器物变红时，用柄剪将其取出并立即浸入水中。
通过这种浸泡过程，黑釉的光泽和乐烧独特的柔和质感得以呈现。
黑乐茶器据说是千利休所喜爱的。
平茶碗与普通的抹茶碗相比，口径较大、底部较低，这是为了在炎热的季节中，让抹茶更容易凉爽，口径较宽有助于抹茶较快冷却，使茶汤更适口，同时也体现了亭主对客人的细心款待。
这款抹茶碗的特点是“掛分”，即在器物的一半涂上不同的釉药，意图展示釉色变化之美。
这只茶碗采用黄土色的陶土，半部分施以黑釉，制作工艺中可以欣赏到陶土本身的质感。
由于茶碗的边缘为直立形状，即使是浅碗，抹茶也不容易溢出，点茶时更加方便。
茶碗非常轻盈，大小适中，手感舒适，是一款非常容易操作的抹茶碗。
