Owner's Comment

This is a matcha bowl by Ichinyo featuring cherry blossoms and the moon painted on a deep, near-black purple Kochi glaze.

The glossy, dark surface of the bowl is likened to a night sky, delicately expressing the full-blooming cherry blossoms and the moon quietly floating above. The soft colors of the blossoms and the brilliance of the moon stand out against the deep background, creating a fantastical scene of night cherry blossoms.

It is a bowl rich with emotion, where the splendor of cherry blossoms and the tranquility of a moonlit night are in harmony.
