Shigarakiyaki clay tea bowl from Nishio Koshu
Totoya-style tea bowl inspired by the historical Totoya Kasumi tea bowl. The ancestor of this simple, rustic style chawan was made by a Korean potter and became famous as "Totoya Chawan" or "Fish Shop Tea Bowl" named after its first owner. The Totoya Chawan garnered many admirers including Sen no Rikyū.
Shigaraki is a kind of stoneware produced in Shigaraki area, Japan. The kiln is one of the Six Ancient Kilns in Japan. Shigaraki clay is high in plasticity but also sturdy, which makes it ideal for both large- and small-scale ceramics.
The unique qualities of the clay render each piece one of a kind and is a great example of Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics.
All tea bowls are unique with different features (see the photos for reference). Ask for photos via email to see our stock.
