This technique, tezukune (手捏ね), is the defining method of Raku ware. The potter pinched and built up the clay, then shaved the walls with a spatula, leaving broad, softly angled facets (herame, 箆目) that catch the light across the surface. The rim undulates gently, and the profile is slightly irregular. That quiet asymmetry is valued in the tea ceremony as part of the wabi aesthetic, where a bowl should feel shaped by hand rather than made to be perfect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRaku ware began in Kyoto in the late 16th century with the potter Chōjirō, who worked closely with the tea master Sen no Rikyū. Black Raku bowls in particular are closely tied to Rikyū's taste for restraint and simplicity. Raku bowls are fired at a relatively low temperature and pulled from the kiln while still glowing hot. The sudden cooling gives black Raku its deep, glossy glaze. Here the surface has a fine, pitted texture known as yuzu-hada (柚子肌, \"citron skin\"), which gives the black a lively, shifting sheen rather than a flat finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bowl has straight, gently tapering walls and a slightly inward-turning rim, which helps hold the warmth and aroma of the tea.
