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.

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。
