Small story at Bizen potters' house

Today's topic is about a small story about Bizen ware.

It is often said that a tea bowl of Bizen ware makes a tea whisk broken.

Actually, the texture of Bizen ware is rough and too hard for a tea whisk.

Then what do you think do potters in bizen do at home?

They use a tea bowl as a rice bowl.

As being used as a rice bowl, the surface of the tea bowl gets smooth.

It takes for a long time to make such a smooth surface, however, the tea bowl will be glossy.

When I was a child, I think the size of tea bowls was normal as a rice bowl and

surprised to know it was too big as a rice bowl.

This spisode is common among my friends from childhood.

So we'll recommend you a normal rice bowl of Bizen ware.
