Royal Opulence: A Masterpiece of Gold, Platinum, and Deep Purple
In the historic artisan district of Uji, Kyoto, master potter Ichinyo Yamamoto crafts ceramic works that are true gallery-quality pieces. With over 50 years of experience, his handmade creations bridge the gap between traditional Japanese craft and contemporary art. This Matcha bowl is a "masterpiece for the everyday," designed to bring a touch of Japan's imperial elegance to your home.
Whether it’s a centerpiece for your collection or a prestigious gift for a milestone anniversary, this pottery work radiates a presence that is impossible to ignore.

Radiant Texture: The Art of Kochi Glazing
The allure of this piece lies in its translucent, deep purple "Kochi" glaze—a traditional Kyoto technique. The intricate "Arabesque" patterns are meticulously raised by hand, creating a three-dimensional frame that is then adorned with genuine gold and platinum leaf. This handmade process gives the bowl a brilliant luster and a tactile depth that changes beautifully under different lighting.

Timeless Luxury for Modern Life
This ceramic masterpiece is built on a foundation of traditional skill but designed with a modern aesthetic in mind. While it is the ultimate vessel for a Japanese tea ritual, its luxurious appearance makes it an ideal choice for serving premium appetizers, hosting a sophisticated coffee hour, or as a stand-alone decorative statement in a modern interior.

Authenticated by the Artist’s Hand
To ensure its legacy, your Matcha bowl is delivered in a traditional paulownia wood gift box. The lid features the artist's original calligraphy, serving as a certificate of authenticity. This makes it an exceptional choice for high-end corporate gifts, wedding presents, or any celebration that calls for a gift of profound beauty and meaning.
*Please note: As the wooden box is custom-crafted for each piece, please allow approximately 2 weeks for preparation.

Shop Owner’s Note
This bowl is truly a sight to behold—the contrast between the deep royal purple and the shimmering gold and platinum "Karakusa" (Arabesque) pattern is breathtaking. In Japan, these vines represent life's endless vitality, prosperity, and the strength of family bonds.
Yamamoto-san’s use of gold and platinum foil over the raised Kochi texture adds a contemporary sparkle and incredible depth. This is a bowl for those moments when you want to feel a sense of abundance and grace, whether celebrating a special anniversary or hosting an honored guest.
