This Raku chawan was handcrafted by ceramic artist Hirofumi Miwa (三輪 弘文) at ちゃわん屋ちょか工房 in Seto, Aichi Prefecture — a region long celebrated as one of Japan’s historic ceramic centers.

Formed with a gently rounded profile and visible throwing marks, the bowl is finished in a dark, reduction-fired glaze. Subtle flashes of red, green, and metallic hues emerge naturally during the Raku firing process, giving the piece a dynamic and unpredictable surface.

The texture is slightly rough and organic, enhancing its tactile character. Comfortable to hold, with a grounded and balanced shape, this bowl is well-suited for casual tea gatherings, modern tea practice, or display as a collector’s piece.

About the Artist

Hirofumi Miwa (三輪 弘文) is an independent potter based in Seto. His work explores the dialogue between traditional Japanese forms and contemporary textures, focusing on everyday tea vessels created with authenticity, material honesty, and the spontaneity of Raku firing.

Care Instructions

- Rinse with warm water before first use (no detergent).
- Hand wash only — avoid dishwasher or microwave.
- Dry thoroughly before storing.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes, as Raku ware is porous and sensitive.
- Over time, the surface may show changes in tone, which adds to its character.
