Kuro-Raku is a great choice for your matcha bowl. I was worried I wouldn't like the red in the thicker glaze but it is wonderful and retains a look from the kiln of burning embers glowing under black spent wood, as you move the bowl to look at it. The size is gener... (more)

I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase of this Kuro-Raku chawan! I own a few very beautiful matcha bowls, some from Hibiki-an, but this one became instantly my most prized chawan and the one I use every day. I was amazed how although the surface is glassy l... (more)

I love this website, and the finely crafted accessories that are offered. I received my Kuro-Raku in the mail today, and as others have noted the pictures don't do it justice. Neither does the price. At $129, it is one of my prized possessions along with the Sabi-Y... (more)

I have just bathed my Kuro Raku Chawan in lukewarm water for just under two minutes. I was a little apprehensive that my Kuro Raku bowl would not live up to the appearance of the example on the website. The tea bowl arrived today and I have to say that I was not disappo... (more)

The Kuro-Raku matcha bowl feels wonderful in the hands, light, warm and a true pleasure to drink from. The contrast in colour when filled with the bright green matcha and black glossy glaze adds to the atmosphere almost like a spiritual entity. The reddish tinted tongue... (more)

I received this bowl in 4 days!! Amazingly quick shipping to San Francisco, California. All that aside - it was beautifully packaged in a fine wooden box. As soon as I touched the bowl, I knew it was special. It had a warmth that none of my other bowls have (I have 4 ot... (more)

Dear Mr. Atsushi Yasui, Have received from you a Kuroraku chawan by Shoraku Sasaki. I am very pleased with the high quality of the bowl. Being a massproduced item (correct me if I'm wrong), it has retained its individuality and uniqueness. The glaze is beautiful,... (more)

This is a beautifully crafted bowl. The small imperfections are truly in keeping with the spirit of Zen. The bowl held a surprise for me at least, I own a few bowls, and they are all made of kuro raku, they are all very hard and cold to touch, the sound of the bowls whe... (more)

My teabowl just arrived - early. I live in Florida and it took just four days - amazing. Even more amazing is the bowl itself. It is absolutely beautiful; even the box is a work of art. I have yet to use it and already it is my favorite. Thank you!
