Bent wood tea bowl

This original matcha tea bowl was made by turning high-quality dried Zelkova wood on a woodworking lathe to a thickness of 0.3 mm, then slowly bending and hardening it with lacquer over time. The shape is bent into a triangular form. The exterior and interior are black with a texture reminiscent of Raku ware, while the base remains green, even after drinking matcha.
