Matcha Bowl -Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Spring by Toraku

Timeless Heritage: A Serene Presence

Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki are the culmination of Kyoto’s rich traditional culture. Each handmade ceramic bowl features subtle "fluctuations" that only human hands can create, adding a profound depth to your quiet moments of tea. The more you use it, the more the pottery feels like a natural extension of your hands.

For Rituals and Everyday Mindfulness

Perfect for a formal tea ceremony, yet equally at home on a modern dining table. Even when not in use, its presence adds a soft Japanese atmosphere to your room, serving as an exquisite decorative centerpiece that celebrates the changing seasons.

Shop Owner’s Note

This stunning bowl captures the essence of spring in Kyoto, featuring the iconic wooden stage of Kiyomizu-dera Temple surrounded by a sea of full-bloom cherry blossoms.

The delicate brushwork and vibrant colors reflect an incredibly high level of artistry. While it is a vivid and celebratory design, it retains an air of traditional elegance that complements any setting. I recommend this piece for anyone who wishes to hold a piece of Japan’s seasonal beauty in their own hands.
