Description

Deep and understated, this vintage Black Raku bowl carries the quiet presence that has long defined Japanese tea culture — often mentioned among Japan’s three great tea ceramics in the phrase “Ichi-Raku, Ni-Hagi, San-Karatsu.”

Hand-formed and low-fired, it shows gentle curves and slight irregularities that lend a calm, human touch. The rich black glaze, known as Kuro Raku, gains its soft sheen through rapid firing and cooling — a process that makes each piece subtly unique.

Paired with its original wooden box, this bowl embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi — simple, tactile, and quietly expressive. A timeless companion for both daily rituals and quiet moments — grounded yet gently endearing.
