| Pitted black drapes over the fine orange-peal texture of this Kuro-Raku Chawan by Higaki Soraku I (d. 1983) enclosed in the original wooden box endorsed within. The bowl is 5 inches (13 cm) diameter, 3-1/2 inches (8 cm) tall and in excellent condition. A beautifully formed bowl. Soraku took over the Katsura Kiln, and built it in its current form in 1955 making the decision at that time to concentrate almost uniquely upon tea ceremony wares along with his wife Sohaku. Upon his death in 1983 Sohaku took the family name, and the lineage is continued today by his daughter. | |||||||||
