Product description
This chawan belongs to that great family of ceramics that do not try to be beautiful, and for that very reason, are profoundly so. Its cream-colored glaze with rust-brown drips, the fine crackle running across its entire surface like the veins of an autumn leaf, its rough foot of nearly raw clay: everything here breathes authenticity, time, and that Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which sees imperfection as the most honest form of beauty.
Inspired by the Hagi-yaki tradition, one of Japan's most revered ceramics originating from the city of Hagi, this bowl possesses a rare quality: its living glaze evolves with use. As matcha is prepared over time, the tea seeps into the micro-cracks and gradually enriches the hues, making each bowl an even more unique piece as time goes by. The Japanese call this phenomenon nanabake, the seven transformations of Hagi.
>Only one piece available, for those who understand that the true value of an object is measured by the story it tells.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why soak this bowl before first use?
Soaking it in cold water for a few minutes prepares the crackle glaze before first use.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No, the crackles would absorb chemicals; wash it by hand in clean water, without soap or detergent.
Will the bowl's shades change with use?
Yes, they will deepen naturally over time, which is part of the quality sought in the wabi-sabi spirit.
