Owner's Comment

This is Ichinyo's matcha bowl, featuring plum blossoms and a kanze-mizu (whirling water) pattern set against a tranquil, antique-yellow Kochi glaze.

The elegant expression of early spring is captured by combining the charming plum blossoms with the flowing kanze-mizu pattern on the tasteful yellow background. The kanze-mizu is a lucky pattern representing endless flowing water, harmonizing beautifully with the delicate painting of the plum blossoms.

It is a dignified and deeply flavorful bowl that combines classical colors with traditional motifs.
