'Kojitsu' — good day. A name given not as aspiration but as recognition: this bowl knows what a good day is. Sasaki Shōraku worked the black Raku glaze until it arrived at this depth — the surface neither flat nor reflective, but something in between, with copper and bronze rising through the black where the firing reached them.
The wooden box carries calligraphy from Daitokuji temple, one of the great Zen institutional authorities in Japanese tea culture. That inscription is not decoration; it is a statement of placement within a tradition that stretches back to Sen no Rikyū. The bowl itself is in good condition.
Diameter 12 cm, height 8 cm. Wooden box with Daitokuji calligraphy included.
