Owner’s Comment
This matcha bowl depicts Murasaki Shikibu with blossoming branches of cherry, evoking an air of graceful refinement.
The glossy surface and raised slip-trailing (itchin) technique give the design a striking sense of dimension and radiance.
Slightly smaller in size, it fits comfortably in the hand—an approachable yet elegant piece.
A bowl that beautifully complements spring tea gatherings with its seasonal charm.
