Kohiki is one of
the Koraimono styles of tea bowls that originated in Korea. Actually they were
rice bowls and were adapted for tea when they entered Japan. Korean bowls
were a favourite of Sen no Rikyu (famed master of the Tea Ceremony) because of
their rough simplicity. Kohiki typically refers to an iron-rich clay body covered
over with white slip and then a translucent glaze. In Japan, the Kohiki style
started with Korean potters and appealed greatly to the busho chajin or warrior-tea
men of the late 1500s.
