This is a Nanban-de style Sencha-Wan tea bowl made by Minoru Hara who has a kiln in Sumiyama, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture.
Nanban-de is a finish using ancient Asian roots and is used to make teapots, water jugs and other tea utensils. The unsophisticated expression of unglazed pottery has been loved by tea master in the past. The texture reminiscent of soil with a modest yet unique presence and the contrast of the white glaze applied to the inside are beautiful, and the color of the tea water is also well reflected.
We also have Nanban-de style Houhin Kuyusu and Yuzamashi available.
Diameter: about 7.5cm
Height: about 4.1cm
Diameter of the base: about 3cm
Capacity: about 50ml for an appropriate amount
Please note that there are individual differences in size, shape, color and texture due to the handmade nature of each item.
