Raku Tea Bowl
A Raku chawan is a traditional Japanese tea bowl crafted specifically for the tea ceremony.
Unlike wheel-thrown pottery, each piece is hand-molded using only the artist’s hands and simple tools — resulting in a warm, organic form that fits naturally in the hand.
From the deep black of kuro-raku to the earthy softness of aka-raku, each bowl has a distinct character.
No two are exactly alike — every piece is one of a kind.
A Legacy Rooted in Tea and Tradition
The Raku chawan traces its origins to 16th-century Japan, when legendary tea master Sen no Rikyū commissioned the first bowls from artisan Chōjirō.
Since then, the Raku family has passed down this tradition for over 450 years.
Each bowl carries the spirit of wabi-sabi and invites a quiet depth to your daily matcha ritual.
Amber Raku
Glazed with amber hues, this style of Raku shifts subtly with light—like molten honey or aged lacquer.
It has a modern, artistic flair that stands out within the Raku tradition.
Amber Raku adds a warm, radiant accent to the tea table.
