[Tea Utensils/Tea Utensils Matcha Tea Bowl] Flat Tea Bowl Iraho by Koun Miyagawa (Ryukoku Kiln)

●Irabo (Iraho/Irabo) is a type of Goryeo tea bowl made on the Korean Peninsula during the Yi Dynasty.
These belong to the Momoyama and early Edo periods, when tea bowls were made to order by tea masters.
It is a large, bowl-shaped ceramic tea bowl that is generally thin and has a base mixed with fine sand and a blue-yellow glaze that gives it an almost irritating appearance, hence the name.
