Graceful Hand-painted Matcha Bowl from Kyoto

This matcha bowl from Kyoto, Japan embodies the refined charm of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery, featuring a delicate hand-painted motif that captures the essence of Kyoto’s natural beauty.

Each brushstroke reflects the artisan’s gentle touch and sensitivity, expressing the quiet grace and elegance of traditional Japanese aesthetics.

The softly rounded form, shaped on the potter’s wheel, reveals the mastery of the Iroe (colored overglaze) technique handed down by Jyosui Kato, one of Kyoto’s leading ceramic artists.

Owner's Comment

The soft gray glaze gently highlights the hand-painted katakuri (dogtooth violet), a delicate flower that signals the arrival of spring.

Its muted colors convey a quiet warmth, evoking the gentle breath of the season.

A bowl that harmonizes simplicity and elegance — subtle yet full of life, much like Kyoto’s spring landscape.
