A Vivid Matcha Bowl by a Master Artisan
Created by Kyoto-based ceramic artist Ichinyo Yamamoto, whose studio is located in Uji, this matcha bowl embodies over half a century of skill and artistry.
A veteran potter of Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware, Yamamoto crafts each piece as if it were a work of fine art, filled with vibrant expression and elegance.
A treasured bowl to enrich your daily rituals—perfect as a personal indulgence or a memorable gift for someone special.
The Brilliance of Kōchi Glaze
The highlight of this piece lies in its radiant, translucent colors.
It is crafted using Kyoto’s distinctive glaze technique known as Kōchi, which gives the bowl its striking vibrancy and depth.
The raised frames surrounding the motifs are meticulously hand-applied, a process requiring precision and care. The result is a work of art with both sculptural presence and refined elegance.

Bringing the Beauty of Kyoto Ceramics Into Daily Life
This bowl represents the perfect harmony of long-honed craftsmanship and sophisticated design. It is a true masterpiece of Kyoto pottery that allows you to experience the essence of Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware.

Presented in a Wooden Box
This matcha bowl comes in a wooden box chosen to complement the refined character of the work. The inscription on the box is handwritten by the artist, adding authenticity and value to the piece.
Suitable for your own collection or as a meaningful gift, this bowl is ideal for celebrations, seasonal greetings, or any special occasion where heartfelt presentation matters.
*Please allow about two weeks for the wooden box to be prepared.

Owner’s Comment
This matcha bowl depicts Murasaki Shikibu
The glossy surface, enhanced with raised slip-trailing (itchin) technique, adds striking dimensionality and brilliance.
By combining Japanese literature with seasonal motifs, the design conveys both refinement and festive charm.
A distinguished piece that graces spring tea gatherings with its poetic presence.
