Key Features & Craftsmanship

Iron Brush-Mark Technique (鉄刷毛目): The surface is dominated by a complex, multi-layered glaze where a thick iron pigment has been applied with a decisive brush stroke. This technique leaves behind a raw & expressive texture, a visual dialogue between the deep, charred black and rich, earthy browns that defines the bowl's dynamic character

The Cylindrical Form: This deep, tall form is celebrated in the tea ceremony for its ability to intensely retain heat, making it a highly meditative and intimate bowl that warms the hands and keeps the temperature of matcha

Tactile Surface: The dense glazes create a rough, volcanic texture, offering a grounding, satisfying weight and feel that enhances the touch

The Foot Ring: The unglazed base provides a sharp contrast, displaying the raw, high-fired clay body and anchoring the vessel with rustic stability

KUROGAKI Chawan comes with its original signed wooden presentation box, complete with the artist’s signiture. The Tomobako (共箱) verifies the piece's authenticity and enhances its value as a collectible.
