Tea Ceremony Utensils Akahada Ware Oshihozan Kiln Tea Bowl No Box ※ There is a stain on the bottom. Akahada ware tea bowls are designed to make tea taste delicious. The "tea puddle," a depression in the bottom of the inside of the tea bowl, is double-layered, which helps the tea to foam well when whisking with a chasen (tea whisk). Also, after drinking, the tea gathers at the center of the bottom of the bowl, making it look clean. My mother-in-law used to teach tea ceremony (Urasenke). She has become elderly and no longer uses these items, so I will be gradually listing them while organizing her tea ceremony utensils. I do not know when they were purchased or how many times they were used. I am a tea ceremony novice, but I will answer any questions I can. Please feel free to comment.
