Dappled chawan tea bowl

A typical expression of an Asahyaki tea bowl, characterised by the warm, orange-coloured Hanshi clay that resembles the morning sun. The clay is excavated and selected from Shirakawa and Oriiyama in Uji. The dappled pattern that develops from the clay is also a unique characteristic of this clay. The clay was mined during the period of the 14th Hosai and is aged and used for over 50 years. The more you use this tea bowl, the more you will enjoy the subtle changes that come along with the use.
