Its "big bowl" shape also allows you to swirl the tea around inside for thorough steeping. (This is done by moving the kyusu in a circular motion but requires practice and care if you don't want to end up reading the wet tea leaves all over your table.)
I'll post a photo of brewing tea with the Chamiiru soon. Stay tuned!
