Founded around 1830 in Gion, Kyoto, Raku Studio Waraku has carried forward the spirit of Raku ware through nearly two centuries of quiet dedication. The studio specializes in tea ceremony essentials like matcha bowls as well as refined kaiseki tableware.

At the heart of Waraku’s philosophy is the belief in “one and only.” No two of their matcha bowls are ever the same. Each piece is formed with a commitment to individuality as not mere variation, but the essence itself. This approach gives rise to the deep presence and character inherent in each of Waraku’s pieces.
