Indigo Hexagon Tea Bowl

A single tea bowl sits centered against a dark reddish-brown background, its surface rendered with the woodblock's grain left visible as streaking lines. The bowl's exterior is covered in a repeating pattern of blue and white hexagons, while its interior and rim show flat grey-blue tones; it rests on a floor of narrow horizontal yellow-gold ridges.
