It is still made by the hands of artisans today. ◆About Rinzantoen The kiln was moved from Gojozaka in Kyoto to Sumiyama. Based on the glaze left by the previous generation, they are still researching new glazing techniques. ◆Kiln-Change (Yohen) The change in color that occurs in the work inside the kiln. When fired at high temperatures, the chemicals inside the kiln react with each other, creating various hues on the vessel. Ultimately, you won't know until you take it out of the kiln. ◆From the potter This item is Kiyomizu-yaki by the late Junji Hayashi of Rinzantoen. It is a kiln-changed tea bowl, and it is no longer possible to make it because the raw materials are unavailable. It was originally priced around 3,000 yen. ◆Features The inside (body of the tea bowl) is wide, so it is safe for beginners. The foot (the base of the tea bowl) is large, not distorted, and easy to hold with one hand. ◆Scratches Please refer to the images. ◆Size Please forgive any slight errors due to individual measurements. 1st Diameter: 11.7cm Height: 7.3cm Weight: 238g 2nd Diameter: 11.5cm Height: 7.1cm Weight: 252g As this is a fragile item, I will pack it carefully.
