Owner's Comment

This cylindrical matcha bowl features a soft peach-toned Kōchi glaze inspired by mountains illuminated at sunrise.

The quiet transition from pre-dawn stillness to the first light of morning is suggested through gently layered color gradations.

The subtle shifts in tone evoke freshness and renewal, reminiscent of the calm clarity that accompanies the beginning of a new day.

A bowl suited for morning tea or for marking important occasions, embodying Ichinyo Yamamoto’s ability to translate landscape into refined traditional Kyoto ceramic form.
