Owner’s Comment

Delicate plum blossoms and branches are gently painted over a soft, ash-glazed surface.

The contrast between the rustic texture of the ceramic and the careful brushwork is especially striking.

This matcha bowl offers a quiet presence, revealing deeper character the more you use it.
