The Hoju Tawarade tea bowl by Onishi Rakusai is a fusion of traditional design and unique techniques, making it a truly auspicious item. This tea bowl, which is particularly rare among Akahada ware, has a shape that imitates a rice bale and a high base, and the double base is imbued with the wish for "increasing prosperity." This design brings joy and smiles to tea ceremonies and will be useful in any season.

Auspicious symbols and designs

The Tawarade tea bowl is a traditional Akahada ware design that has existed for a long time, but this piece by Onishi Rakusai has a special meaning. By combining a tea bowl that symbolizes a rice sack with a double measuring cup, it conveys an auspicious message of continued prosperity. By using this tea bowl, the tea ceremony will naturally be filled with smiles and a peaceful atmosphere will spread.

Unique design created using unique carving techniques

The most distinctive feature of this tea bowl is the way the rice bale has been carved. Using an original technique that has never been seen before, thin rhythmic lines have been added after the surface of the rice bale has been carved away. This carving method is extremely rare, and gives the entire tea bowl a light and lively sense of rhythm. The beauty of the unique lines sets this tea bowl apart from other rice bale tea bowls, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Its beautiful form and functionality harmonize with any occasion, making tea time even more special. This tea bowl, created by Onishi Rakusai, is a masterpiece that lives in the modern era, respecting tradition while pursuing new beauty.

This Hoju Tawarade tea bowl inherits the good old Akahada ware tradition, but is a work that has been given new value through originality and ingenuity. Its beautiful design and practicality will bring happiness and prosperity to the tea ceremony, and it will be loved for a long time.
