Comment from the shop owner

This matcha bowl depicts wisteria blooming freshly on a pale asagi-colored kochi ware base.

Wisteria has long been cherished as a flower that colors early summer, and its drooping blossoms exude elegance and grace. The vibrant purple wisteria stands out against the soft celadon-like colors, creating a refreshing and cool impression.

The deep shape makes it easy to whisk matcha, and the contrast with the vibrant green of the matcha is also beautiful. It is perfect for a quiet morning cup of tea or for tea ceremonies where you want to enjoy the feeling of the season.

This piece allows you to enjoy the fresh atmosphere, as if it perfectly reflects the early summer air.
