Each bowl is hand-built and carved in Shōraku's workshop from his signature lightweight clay blend before being coated with a glaze made from the rocks at the bottom of the Kamō River. A few patches of glazes are scraped off decoratively to reveal the clay underneath. Each chawan is then fired individually at around 1000°C (1832°F) for three minutes before being removed from the heat while red hot and cooled rapidly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe smooth, soft, pinholed texture of the kuro-raku glaze coupled with the soft, low-fired clay body is one of the most unique tactile sensations in Japanese ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bowl is stamped 松楽 (Shōraku), he uses on his more entry-level pieces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shōraku","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51209766994172,"sku":"US-M497","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/6838\/5447\/files\/Tezumi-US-M497-1.webp?v=1788201235","url":"https:\/\/www.tezumi.com\/products\/carved-kuro-raku-chawan","provider":"Tezumi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
