This is a matcha bowl by Ichinyo, featuring vibrant hydrangeas painted on a clear, pale blue Kōchi glaze.

Delicate hydrangeas in shades of blue, purple, and pale pink are painted onto the refreshing light blue surface, capturing the flowers beautifully as they bloom during the rainy season. The lustrous Kōchi colors and the intricate layering of the petals are truly worth seeing.

A bowl that allows you to enjoy the gentle, moist mood of the rainy season with bright and glamorous colors.
