Hagi Chawan (萩茶碗)
This is a Hagi ware tea bowl which Okada-san has created.
He combined the white glaze with the ashes glaze containing less iron and that has become a shade of white.
The quality called "tsuchiaji" is soft, deep sense of touch like texture.
This type of tea bowl is very familiar in the tea ceremony.
