This is a matcha bowl made by cover glaze on a black-coated base. The expression created by the shrinkage of the glaze creates a tasteful scenery. The scenery created by shrinking the glaze with double cover. A matcha bowl to enjoy the beauty of "Kairagi". White on black. It is a handmade matcha bowl that feels warm as if it were fluffy candyfloss. There is beauty in sharp and distorted edge, the shape of the beveling of the body. There is no seasonal feeling and it does not choose the combination and place with other dishes. A tea bowl that uses the technique of shrinking the glaze, which write "梅花皮" and read it as “Kairagi”. The contrast with the chamfered body black makeup is impressive.
