The natural shape inherent to Raku ware and the unique texture formed by handcrafting impart a sense of hand-made warmth and approachability to the beholder. The glaze on the surface spontaneously creates a unique beauty, as if capturing a fragment of the cosmos, lending it a mystical allure. Every time it is held, one might fall under the illusion of touching the mysteries of the universe.
