Owner's Comment

This handmade ceramic matcha bowl depicts two rabbits playing in silver moonlight among autumn grasses, evoking the beauty of late autumn in Japan.

The silver-painted moon and the gold accents outlining the rabbits create a design that is both delicate and luminous—an exquisite seasonal piece for enjoying matcha in autumn.
