Handmade Kyoto Matcha Bowl

A Small Kiln Nurturing Handcrafted Beauty

Near Kanshuji Temple in Kyoto lies Dainichi Kiln, a family-run pottery studio.

Created by artist Yotaro Takemura together with his father Shigeo, their work carries on the tradition of Kiyomizu-yaki while blending seamlessly into modern life.

Each piece is carefully handmade using natural glazes in their quiet mountain workshop — a true expression of Japanese craftsmanship.

A Blue Gradient Like Sky and Ocean

The signature Hekiyu (blue glaze) series captures the shifting beauty of the sea and sky.

From deep navy to soft aqua, the glaze flows naturally, creating subtle gradations that change with light and angle. Each matcha bowl is completely unique — no two are ever the same.

Handcrafted Japanese Matcha Bowl

A Special Moment for Tea Time
