Initiation:
Before the first use of a Raku chawan, dip it in lukewarm water with a few grains of hard rice. The rice powder in the water helps to seal the pores of the Rakuchawan, strengthens the walls and makes it less fragile.
Cleaning:
To clean, dip the tea bowl in lukewarm water: a new bowl for one or two minutes; an older one for about 30 seconds to keep it clean, keep it from being covered with stains and to prevent damage. Do not let it sit in water, for the tea bowl will fall apart!
Storage:
When not in use, dry the tea bowl with a towel. Afterward – especially during the wet season – put it in an airy place and keep it dry. Otherwise, the tea bowl could be damaged and/or develop a damp smell. If the smell clings to the bowl, make tea with it every day. The smell is usually gone in a week. If not, contact us or the producers of the tea bowl for advice.
Usage:
Raku Chawan is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, characterized by being porous, which allows the carbon dioxide to pass through a small hole. Hot water, therefore, might ooze through the tea bowl. This bowl is also vulnerable to acid, so it is not advisable to put acid foods in it. Raku Chawan is not to be used as dishware!
Thanks to the small pores and structure of Raku Chawan, over time small, and in rare cases, bigger fractures might appear on the bowl. This can be prevented by correct initiation but is still natural to happen.

Nice Chawan, but started showing cracks and tiny glaze/enamel chipping off in a few places. Had it for less than 6 months, treated with care and absolutely puzzled with these cracks on an US$87 Chawan.
