TEABOWLS Sasaki Chojiro's (1516-92) teabowls are sometimes considered the ultimate in Japanese ceramics. They are modest in shape and undecorated, they fit well in the hand and convey the warmth of the hot tea. Handbuilt without the use of a wheel, the bowls are irregular in shape with a small, round foot and sides that are almost straight. Chojiro's teabowls serve as inspiration as students create their own teabowls

However for my performance (resons being its expensive to buy chojiro bowls, and they're not designed for my performance type, we will use usucha bowls.)
