Kuro-raku Omokage Replica Black Raku Chawan
This Kuro-raku chawan (matcha bowl) is a replica (写 - utsushi) of Omokage (面影): a 16th century bowl made by Chōjirō’(長次郎), the progenitor of the Raku chawan style and the Raku family.
Like the original, it has a subtly asymmetrical shape with undulations on one side and a slight waist on the other with patches of rusty red brown accenting the black glaze.
Handbuilt from Shoraku's lightweight clay blend and coated with a glaze made from the rocks at the bottom of the Kamō River, each chawan is then fired individually at around 1000C for three minutes before being removed from the heat while red hot and cooled rapidly.
