Matcha tea cup bowl Japanese RAKU CHAWAN handmade Tea Ceremony pottery with box

Ohitachawan (大樋 Ōhi Chawan) are tea bowls originating from the Ōhi-yaki tradition of Raku ware, which has continued for over 350 years in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. They are characterized by a unique brownish glaze called amegusuri, which has a lustrous sheen, and a warm, rustic form created by hand-coiling rather than using a potter's wheel.
Highly insulating with a soft mouthfeel, it has been cherished by many tea connoisseurs for centuries. 

This bowl also features an interesting variation in its amber glaze, giving it a soft atmosphere.
It's unique without being overbearing, and its charm lies in how it mysteriously blends into its surroundings and feels comfortable in the hand.

In addition, pottery made without a potter's wheel and using only hands and a spatula is called "rakuyaki. It is classified as "Senke Jusshoku Senke Jusshoku" (Senke Ten Crafts). Senke Jushoku is an honorific title for ten craftsmen, including famous painters and sommeliers involved in the tea ceremony.

During the Kamakura period (1185-1333), as Zen spread in Japan, the tea ceremony also spread. Later, during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, Sen no Rikyu invented "侘び茶Wabicha," which became the origin of today's Sado.
