Kyoto Ceramic Matcha Bowl - Sunrise and Cranes

Morning Glow: A Symbol of Hope and Longevity

In the historic workshop of Uji, Kyoto, master artisan Ichinyo Yamamoto brings over 50 years of refined skill to the art of pottery. This vibrant ceramic Matcha bowl captures the ethereal beauty of a sunrise, turning your tea or coffee ritual into a moment of artistic inspiration.

Whether it’s a meaningful self-reward or a commemorative gift for a loved one, this handmade masterpiece brings the spirit of traditional Japanese hospitality into your modern home.

Kochi Glaze Matcha Bowl with Cranes

Dimensional Artistry: The Kochi Technique

The hallmark of this pottery is the "Kochi" glaze—a traditional Kyoto technique prized for its brilliant, translucent colors. The soaring cranes are framed by three-dimensional outlines, meticulously applied by hand. This tactile, handmade texture creates a sense of luxury and presence that defines the highest quality of Kyo-yaki ceramics.

Detailed Crane Design

Timeless Beauty for Your Daily Rituals

Combining decades of expertise with a sophisticated aesthetic, this handmade piece is a versatile traditional masterpiece. Beyond its use as a Matcha bowl, it is perfect for serving elegant morning snacks, a creamy latte, or as a striking decorative centerpiece that invites peace and prosperity into your space.

Traditional Gift Presentation

Presented in an Authentic Signed Gift Box

Each bowl is housed in a traditional paulownia wood box, an essential part of its heritage. The lid features the artist's original calligraphy, serving as a certificate of authenticity. It is an exceptional choice for prestigious gifts such as weddings, housewarmings, or New Year’s celebrations.

*Please note: As each wooden box is custom-made, please allow approximately 2 weeks for preparation.

Shop Owner

Shop Owner’s Note

This bowl features elegantly soaring cranes against a backdrop that evokes the soft light of a "Sunrise." In Japan, the crane is a sacred bird representing longevity and happiness, while the sunrise symbolizes hope and new beginnings.

Holding this bowl feels like looking at a bright, hopeful sky—it’s a design that clears the mind and refreshes the spirit. I highly recommend using this piece to start your day with a sense of gratitude, perhaps alongside your favorite breakfast pastry or a quiet cup of tea.
