Description:

Beautiful Handmade Raku Chawan by Sasaki Shoraku, an unique masterpiece

Bring the timeless beauty of the Japanese tea ceremony into your home with this authentic Raku chawan, handcrafted by renowned Japanese master potter Sasaki Shoraku.
This unique piece from the Shōwa period (1926-1989) is in perfect condition and combines traditional craftsmanship with natural elegance, paying homage to the art of wabi-sabi – the beauty of imperfection.
The chawan (traditional Japanese tea mug) is 10 cm high and has a diameter of 9.7 cm.

Raku ceramics are characterized by a unique manual firing technique that gives an irregular, natural and often rustic look. The dark, rustic glaze layer is subtly decorated with an engraved pattern of a coniferous branch that symbolizes a deep connection with nature. Every detail is finished with care and the irregular texture of the chawan gives a warm, organic look that perfectly suits a moment of reflection and tranquility.

This chawan comes in a tomobako, a handmade wooden storage box, featuring traditional Japanese calligraphy and a seal of authenticity, which makes this piece not only ideal for use during the tea ceremony but also a special collector's item for lovers of Japanese art.

  1. Authentic Japanese ceramics from a master potter
  2. Perfect for traditional tea ceremonies or as a unique decorative piece
  3. A wonderful gift for art lovers and collectors
