Made out of premium raw materials

The Chawan Ao-Uzumaki is made out of premium Gifu clay, a region that has been famous for producing high quality pottery since ancient times. This particular bowl is made using the Kinyō style, which is a Chinese style. The milky white color and trace amounts of iron are reduced to give it a bluish tint, which, when mixed with the reddish copper, gives it a pale purple appearance.
