Winter calls for deep, cylindrical forms that hold heat; summer calls for the \u003cstrong\u003ehira-chawan\u003c\/strong\u003e — wide, shallow, and open, so the tea spreads thin, cools quickly, and greets the guest with a sense of airiness on a hot day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhisking in a hira-chawan takes a slightly gentler hand than in a standard bowl, and rewards it: the broad surface turns every serving of matcha into a small green pond, framed here by drifting white brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- ABOUT HAKEME --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ou-acc-item\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"ou-acc-btn\"\u003eAbout the Hakeme Technique\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ou-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHakeme (刷毛目)\u003c\/strong\u003e — \"brush marks\" — is the technique of sweeping white slip over dark clay with a coarse brush, each stroke final and unrepeatable.
