Kairagi (Ume-kawa) This refers to areas where the glaze did not completely melt during firing, resulting in a sharkskin-like texture that wrinkles and forms granular parts. There are naturally variations in the glaze, with some areas being white and others a deep black. For items like matcha bowls, this is considered a "scenic view" and enjoyed as one aspect of their depth and character. Purchased from the online shop in 2022. Used 2-3 times and then stored in a cupboard. I am selling this due to organizing my cupboard. There are some small stains on the surface due to use, but I hope you will accept them as part of the charm of Japanese pottery. Please refer to the photos and only proceed with the transaction if you understand and accept this. As this is a personal item stored at home by an amateur, please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item like one from a store. As ceramics and glass are fragile items, shipping costs will be high. We want to deliver them carefully, so please understand that we cannot offer discounts. ■Quantity: 3 pieces ■Size: Approx. diameter 21.5cm x height 6.0cm ■Weight: Approx. 500g ■Material: Earthenware ■Origin: Mino (Dachi) ■Not suitable for oven/microwave/dishwasher
