Owner’s Illustration

Owner’s Comment

This matcha bowl features a single persimmon left on the branch, known as kimori, painted against a subdued background.

In Japan, kimori is the tradition of leaving one fruit on the tree after harvest, a gesture of gratitude and a wish for next year’s abundance. It also offers nourishment to birds, travelers, and honors the life of the tree itself.

The design evokes the quiet scenery of late autumn to early winter, with the solitary orange persimmon adding a touch of lingering beauty.

A handmade Kyoto ceramic bowl that captures both the season’s stillness and Japan’s spirit of appreciation—perfect for tea gatherings that value subtle elegance.
