Owner’s Illustration

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.
