Warm to the touch. Light in the hand. Deep in tradition.

This handcrafted Red Raku Chawan is a refined matcha tea bowl, created with traditional Japanese Raku ware techniques. Its soft curves and natural texture offer a comforting presence, perfect for an authentic and mindful tea experience.

【A Piece of Japanese History】
Raku ware originated in the late 16th century through a collaboration between tea master Sen no Rikyū and potter Chōjirō, becoming one of Japan’s most iconic ceramic styles.

Each bowl is shaped by hand—no two are alike.

Raku bowls are removed from the kiln while still hot, then cooled naturally, resulting in their unique texture and warmth.

Red Raku is known as the “bowl of the sun” – embodying warmth, energy, and harmony.

Pair it with WACHA’s Red Matcha or traditional bamboo whisk, and you can create a full, modern tea ritual at home — inspired by centuries of Japanese tradition.

【How to Care for Your Raku Chawan】
Raku ware is a delicate, handmade ceramic, known for its soft texture and warmth. To enjoy it for many years, please keep the following points in mind:

・Before using it for matcha, it’s recommended to briefly rinse the bowl with water. This helps prevent staining and enhances its durability.

・Wash gently by hand using a soft sponge. Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., pouring cold water right after hot tea), as they can cause cracks.

・Do not use in dishwashers, microwaves, or over direct heat.

・After washing, allow it to dry completely before storing. Avoid humid environments, and store in a well-ventilated area.

【For First-Time Users】
Raku bowls are more porous and delicate than porcelain or mass-produced ceramics.
They hold the spirit of the clay itself — a living, breathing expression of wabi-sabi.

Over time, the bowl’s texture and appearance will subtly change, becoming uniquely yours.

It’s a perfect companion for those who wish to bring mindfulness and beauty into their daily tea ritual.
