KURORAKU tea bowls, created with values and aesthetics completely different from those of other pottery, are symbolic of Japanese ceramics and the tea ceremony. Rough clay is kneaded and molded by hand, and fired in a high-temperature kiln to produce rough yet elegant tea bowls.The black color produced by rapidly cooling the hot bowls after they come out of the kiln has a moist luster.
RAKU has a special status in Japanese tea ceremony, which was introduced from China and blossomed into a unique culture in Japan.
