Owner’s Comment

This matcha bowl features the traditional motif of Fukiyose—an autumn design where fallen leaves, seeds, and plants are gathered together by the wind.

In Japanese art, Fukiyose symbolizes the richness of the season and the fleeting beauty of nature’s changes.

The warm texture of handmade ceramic and its subdued autumn palette create a sense of quiet elegance.

The glossy surface and raised slip-trailing (itchin) technique enhance the flowing movement of the scattered leaves.

A poetic and seasonal masterpiece by Ichinyo Yamamoto, this Kyoto pottery bowl beautifully captures the spirit of autumn.
