Two forces meet at the surface of this Tamamogama tea bowl: the warm iron-red of Kyoto earth, and a pooled section of black-metallic glaze that draws the eye without explanation.
Kyoto raku tradition yields bowls built for the hand — compact, intentional, shaped for the intimacy of a single bowl, a single moment. At 10.7cm across, this piece sits fully in the palm. The tension between the red body and the dark glaze is not decoration. It is a record of fire and decision.
Stored in a fitted wooden box. A working bowl for the tea room, equally present as an object of study.
