Matcha Bowl – Hibiscus Design | KOTOPOTTER

Elegant Hand-painted Design, Born from Kyoto Tradition

This matcha bowl from Kyoto, Japan embodies the refined artistry of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery, featuring vivid hand-painted motifs that capture the spirit of the seasons.

Each brushstroke reflects the painter’s graceful sensibility, evoking the quiet sophistication and cultural beauty of Kyoto.

The softly rounded form, created on the potter’s wheel, showcases the masterful Iroe (colored overglaze) technique inherited by Jyosui Kato, a master craftsman who continues Kyoto’s ceramic legacy.
