This striking tea bowl showcases dynamic brushstrokes that bring depth and texture to its surface. Utilizing the hakeme technique, Sakakura skillfully applies bold, milky white strokes, creating a distinct and unique pattern on each piece. The contrast between the soft, flowing glaze and the raw clay beneath enhances the bowl's visual and tactile appeal.

Its unglazed kodai (foot) adds a refined touch, elevating the piece with subtle elegance and preparing it for the ritual of tea. The harmonious interplay of materials and technique makes this tea bowl a captivating example of Sakakura’s craftsmanship.
