Kyoto Handmade Ceramic Matcha Bowl - Night Sakura and Swirling Water

Mystical Night Sakura: A Masterpiece of Deep Indigo and Gold

In the historic workshop of Uji, Kyoto, master artisan Ichinyo Yamamoto brings over half a century of mastery to this exquisite ceramic Matcha bowl. This handmade work of art captures the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms under a moonlit sky, turning your tea ritual into a moment of pure serenity.

An exceptional self-reward or a prestigious gift for a special milestone, this pottery piece represents the pinnacle of traditional Japanese luxury.

Deep Navy Kochi Matcha Bowl

The Radiant Texture of Kochi Glaze

The allure of this piece lies in its translucent "Kochi" glaze—a traditional Kyoto technique prized for its vibrant colors and tactile depth. The "Kanze-mizu" (swirling water) and cherry blossom patterns are meticulously raised by hand, creating a 3D frame that catches the light with a gemstone-like brilliance.

Detailed Night Sakura Pattern

"In the dawn's early light, the white snow looks so beautiful that I mistook it for the bright light of the moon."

— Inspired by classical Waka poetry (Kokinshu)

Timeless Artistry for Modern Living

While deeply rooted in traditional culture, the bold indigo and gold aesthetic fits seamlessly into contemporary interiors. Use it to serve gourmet desserts, enjoy a creamy latte, or display it as a striking centerpiece that celebrates the eternal beauty of Japan’s seasons.

Traditional Gift Presentation

Presented in an Authentic Signed Gift Box

Your Matcha bowl arrives in a traditional paulownia wood gift box, personally inscribed by the artist. This box serves as a certificate of authenticity and makes it an ideal choice for prestigious gifts such as weddings, housewarmings, or anniversaries.

*Please note: Each wooden box is custom-crafted; please allow approximately 2 weeks for preparation.

Shop Owner’s Note

This bowl features a deep midnight-blue Kochi glaze adorned with vibrant cherry blossoms and the elegant "Kanze-mizu" (swirling water) pattern. In Japanese tradition, this swirling water represents the eternal flow of life—ever-changing yet pure.

The contrast of the gold-leaf water and delicate blossoms against the dark indigo background evokes the mystical beauty of "Yozakura" (night cherry blossoms). I recommend this piece for those quiet, late-night tea moments or for hosting guests with a touch of sophisticated Kyoto charm.
