This Kiyomizu-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) features a flared lip and is glazed in a dark grey, warmed by the iron rich red clay body. On top of this glaze, the bowl is decorated with a hakeme (刷毛目 - brush stroke) in white slip on both the inside and outside.

Hakeme is a slip decoration technique that comes from Joseon-era Korea. Here, white slip is applied with a brush, originally across the majority of the piece, but later more as an accent. On top of this layer of slip, the bowl is finished in a transparent ash glaze. The hakeme technique was especially common on earlier Buncheong vases, often being used as a base for further decoration. Called gwiyal in Korean, hakeme typically employs a very coarse bristled brush, so that the resulting strokes are rough with a lot of character.

Kiyomizu-yaki (清水焼) (also called Shimizu-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Gojōzaka district near Kiyomizu Temple, in Kyoto, Japan. A subset of Kyo-yaki which refers to all pottery made in the Kyoto area, Kiyomizu ware has been produced since the 16th century
