Made from pitted, sandy clay, this tea bowl has an uneven rim that contrasts with the round contours of its overall form. Otsuka coated the bowl with an array of glazes to create a series of shifting colors and textures. The light-brown, yellow, and green pigments of the bowl stand out in bright natural light, and take on new hues as the sun shifts.
