First, please take a look at the profile. This is a black Raku tea bowl. The artist is Matsuraku Sasaki. The inscription is "Kichijo" (Auspicious), and it has a written inscription by Ryojitsu Kobori, the chief priest of the Jitsurin-ji Temple of the Daitoku-ji school. I think the shape is good, and the inscription is also not bad. I think it's a good inscription for a gift. Black Raku, compared to red Raku, can sometimes make it difficult to see the nuances of the firing, but this is a tea bowl that feels well-fired. The size is 12 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height. The included accessories are the original box and cloth. This is a new item, but it is being offered at a 5% discount including shipping. Please understand that we cannot accommodate excessive price reductions. Compared to tea bowls in paper boxes, the shape is also good, so I think you can use it for everyday practice.
