Comments from us
The features of this book, we think, are the photographs that allow the reader to grasp the texture and actual size of the tea bowls, as well as the layout of the pages that allow the reader to appreciate the tea bowls carefully. We recommend this set of five books to any tea bowl enthusiast.
