Handling precautions
Initiation:
Before the first use of a Raku chawan, sit it in lukewarm water with a cup of hard rice for about 15 minutes, so that the water completely covers the bowl. The rice powder in the water helps to seal the pores of the Rakuchawan, strengthens the walls and makes it less fragile.
Cleaning:
To clean, dip the tea bowl in lukewarm water: a new bowl for one or two minutes; an older one for about 30 seconds to keep it clean, keep it from being covered with stains and to prevent damage. Do not let it sit in water, for the tea bowl will fall apart!
Storage:
When not in use, dry the tea bowl with a towel. Afterward – especially during the wet season – put it in an airy place and keep it dry. Otherwise, the tea bowl could be damaged and/or develop a damp smell. If the smell clings to the bowl, make tea with it every day. The smell is usually gone in a week. If not, contact us or the producers of the tea bowl for advice.
Usage:
Raku Chawan is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, characterized by being porous, which allows the carbon dioxide to pass through a small hole. Hot water, therefore, might ooze through the tea bowl. This bowl is also vulnerable to acid, so it is not advisable to put acid foods in it. Raku Chawan is not to be used as dishware!
Thanks to the small pores and structure of Raku Chawan, over time small, and in rare cases, bigger fractures might appear on the bowl. This can be prevented by correct initiation but is still natural to happen.

Mo******, 2021-03-29 21:13, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Beautiful and excellently priced Raku Yaki chawan made by Shoraku Sasaki III. I had Sazen do the initiation (which was reasonably priced). I asked for pictures of their inventory so I could pick the one I wanted and Agnes was a sweetheart emailing during the process. Great communication and excellent service as always. This bowl shows off the beautiful color of the tea and it is very light, but at the same time substantial. Holds heat very well. Makes the entire tea ceremony a beautiful experience. The midnight moon design is even more beautiful in person. It really does look like the reflection of the moon on a lake on a dark night. Although the design looks to be predominantly a wash of 'blue', within that 'blue' there are other hues to be seen: cream, mauve, silver, metallic tones. One of my favorite bowls in my small collection of chawans.
