The upper body of this \u003cstrong\u003echawan\u003c\/strong\u003e is glazed in a warm, crackled ivory, its fine web of crazing running across the surface like the veins of an old leaf. Below, a band of deep \u003cstrong\u003eOribe green\u003c\/strong\u003e wraps the lower body, laid over clay that was combed with diagonal strokes before glazing, so the green pools and lightens across every ridge like wind moving through a field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the bowl turns to a glossy persimmon orange that glows against whisked matcha, with soft violet tones gathering in the well.

Once glaze is applied, it settles into the grooves and thins over the ridges, so a single color becomes a field of light and dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired here with a rich Oribe-style green, the effect is especially lively. The green, named for the tea master Furuta Oribe whose bold taste shaped Japanese ceramics in the late 16th century, deepens to near-teal in the combed valleys and brightens to grass green on the peaks. Turn the bowl and the band seems to ripple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- KANNYU --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ou-acc-item\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"ou-acc-btn\"\u003eKannyu: The Beauty of Crackle\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ou-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine network of lines across the ivory glaze is \u003cstrong\u003ekannyu (貫入)\u003c\/strong\u003e, crackle formed as the glaze and clay cool and contract at different rates.
