Originally a product of chance, many Tenmoku bowls no longer have clear manufacturing methods or recipes. Craftsmen have used techniques passed down from generation to generation and their own ideas to revive various Tenmoku tea bowls through trial and error.
This product is called Nebula Tenmoku, and features blue and yellowish-brown patterns spread across a deep indigo background.When viewed up close, it looks just like stars sparkling and dancing amongst a nebula, making it a truly beautiful cup.
It is exactly the size of a Japanese sake cup, making it easy to use and perfect for drinking sake, tea, cooking, and more. The rim is curved to allow you to fully appreciate the beautiful design. While the curved rim may seem bold at first glance, it actually makes drinking easier, and your fingers naturally catch on the curved part, allowing you to hold the cup firmly with little effort.
