Guys --
Outside of the magical world of pottery, "koro"
has a completely different meaning. The
polite term for it is "Genital Retraction
Syndrome" -- you may have read about
folks being strung up as witches after an
outbreak.
OK, I'll stop laughing now.

Which is really a koro, not a teabowl, but I use them as teabowls too.
Let me know how it works for tea, Lee.

Dear Lee;
That is Hank's shino as detailed in the article in CM at this link:
25 hour fire to C10+ in reduction, + 4 hour soak in oxidation around
1850F. Feet made with the aid of Billy VanGilder's texture boards.
Pat's Black lines trailed over the Shino.
Cheers, Hank

Folks may now wonder what a koro is in Japanese culture! It is a three
footed piece, inside of which ashes are raked up to resemble a tiny Mt.
Fuji. The burning bit of incense is placed on the top of the cone to
scent the tearoom.
Still laughing,
Hank

What kind of shino is on the koro I have? I thought of using it
for coffee. You can see my current coffee bowl here:

Being a zen student, I actually use these incense burners. :-)
When I visited Tsugen Narazaki Roshi in '93 (my first trip back to
Japan) , at his training monastery in Shikoku, Zuioji, I gave him some
incense and a tenmoku koro. We gave him these gifts at Chosen, informal
tea ceremony with the teacher. I had taken part in this ritual before,
but this time, we were in a huge traditional tatami mat meeting hall,
both sizes were filled with a row of monks and Narazaki Roshi sat at the
head of the two lines, in front of folding screens with some beautiful
paintings on them. It was like a scene from Kurosawa's Kagemusha. Chosen
is when the monks at a Zen monastery get a chance to sip matcha and ask
the teacher questions.
When Narazaki Roshi opened the incense we brought as a present from him,
all the young monks laughed. Zuioji is famous for its incense. I bought
"coals to Newcastle." When the laughter died down bit, I explained that
the incense was Tibetan and from our Tibetan teacher's monastery, and
the tenmoku koro was one I made. After the translator translated what I
said, the young monk's laughter transformed into OOhs and Aahhs.
That was only the second koro I gave to a teacher. The other one I gave
to Gary Snyder when he was in St. Paul reading from his new collection
of poetry, Axe Handles. I bought a copy of the woodblock print used on
the cover of Axe Handles, The Treasure Ship Snow Goddess, printed by a
mutual friend of Snyder's and mine, Mayumi Oda. It is one reason I
started studying woodblock printing.
