Black Satsuma ware tea bowl 12.5 x 8.5 cm

[Satsuma's sacred mountains and eternal forests. Satsuma Kirishima ware black Raku tea bowl with Yakusugi cedar base]

"Satsuma Kirishima ware" is lit at the foot of the Kirishima mountain range. This jet-black Raku tea bowl is the essence of that craftsmanship.

The distinctive black Raku ware has a captivating matte texture, and the soft warmth of the clay can be felt when you hold it in your hand. It is a design that exudes tranquility and embodies the "wabi-sabi" spirit of the tea ceremony.

Of particular note is the dedicated base, made from Yakusugi cedar from Yakushima, a World Heritage Site. The dense annual rings and sublime fragrance of the Yakusugi cedar, which has survived for thousands of years, further enhance the jet black of the Kuro Raku. This supreme masterpiece, which embodies the harshness and richness of Kagoshima's nature, is truly worthy of being called a "lifetime item."
