Here's a unique Shigaraki serving bowl by Takahashi Rakusai III (1976 DIED ) in perfect condition with a signed box & on base. Rakusai have icomparable warm beauty of clay and form, the whole family-along with the Ueda one is the longest potting family in Shiga responsible for preserving true tradition, and since the second world war without their persistence the flames of Shigaraki might have been extinguished forever.Its in awesome condition i consider this matcha chawan bowl a very great item view! Used little...even old in age.
