Shop Owner

Shop Owner’s Note

This bowl presents a breathtaking contrast. The exterior is finished in a quiet, understated ash glaze with a hand-painted "Old Pine" design. However, the interior is coated in full gold leaf. When you whisk Matcha inside, the vibrant green of the tea glows spectacularly against the golden background.

This design captures both the strength of traditional art and the brilliance of Japanese luxury. It is a striking choice for everything from your daily morning tea to festive celebratory occasions.

丁寧な対応と梱包で届きました。内側の金彩も渋い色で大変趣があります。そのまま飾っても美しいのですが、点てた抹茶の深緑との対比がこの上なく静謐で格式高く、素晴らしい体験になりました。

レビューのご投稿、誠にありがとうございます。

内側に施された金彩の落ち着いた輝きは、おっしゃる通り抹茶の鮮やかな緑を一層深く、静かに引き立ててくれますね。良二氏らしい渋みのある美しさを、ただ眺めるだけでなく「体験」として深く味わっていただけていること、大変嬉しく存じます。

その静謐なひとときが、これからもお客様の日常を豊かに彩るものとなりますように。
