Raku ware
Japanese pottery founded by Chojiro under the guidance of Sen no Rikyu, in Kyoto during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (16th century). The tradition is mainly inherited by the Raku family, which was founded by Chojiro (currently the 15th generation).The technique of hand-kneading that does not use a potter's wheel grinding is used.

KAMISENRO’s eyes
In Japan, Japanese tea bowls have long been used for drinking matcha. However, it can be used in various ways. We think it is a waste to miss the opportunity to touch beautiful things, because it is used only for a limited purpose. Of course, you can drink matcha, but depending on the shape of the bowl, for example, how about using it as a container for coffee, cafe au lait, or ice cream? We hope that you will incorporate a part of Japanese culture into your country's daily life in a way that suits you.
