【Master Craftsman】Yoshinobu Teruya's Tsuboya-yaki (Yachimun) Matcha Bowls, Set of 2, Pair Bowls, Rare, Old Work This is a set of two matcha bowls by Yoshinobu Teruya, a master craftsman representing Okinawa's traditional craft, Yachimun (Tsuboya-yaki). Among Teruya's many works, this is a standard and highly popular design featuring the "Itchin Karakusa pattern," which evokes a strong sense of vitality. The Karakusa (arabesque) pattern, created using the Itchin (raised) technique, stands out against the deep green background, and the bowls possess the unique style of old works, along with a substantial weight that fits comfortably in the hand. How about using them as a pair of tea bowls for a couple, or as special vessels for enjoying tea with someone important? • Size (approx.): Diameter 12cm x Height 8cm Diameter 12.5cm x Height 8.5cm • Condition: Carefully stored for display. There are no noticeable chips or cracks, but please understand that pinholes (small holes), uneven glaze, and crazing are characteristic of Yachimun and are considered part of the work's individuality.
