Rakuyaki - Mugiwarate Macha bowl 4 ¾” w x 3” h
This Mugiwara-de Rakumacchabowl is a refined example of traditional Japanese pottery, distinguished by its vertical stripe motif inspired by wheat stalks gently swaying in the wind. The rhythmic lines—rendered in iron-rich pigments—flow organically across the surface, creating a sense of quiet movement and balance.
Crafted using the Raku firing method, the bowl is fired at low temperatures and cooled rapidly, allowing the clay and glaze to interact in subtle, unpredictable ways. The result is a soft, tactile surface with natural tonal variations—each piece is entirely unique.
The gently flared form sits comfortably in the hands, making it ideal for daily use as a maccha tea cup while retaining the presence and character of a gallery-worthy object. Rooted in the traditions of Seto-style ceramics, Mugiwara-de Raku ware embodies the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi - a beauty in imperfection, restraint, and natural change over time.
Designed to be used, lived with, and appreciated slowly.
