Matcha bowl -Light Purple"Wisteria" by Ichinyo

Elegant Wisteria: A Masterpiece of Form and Color

In the historic hills of Uji, Kyoto, master artisan Ichinyo Yamamoto brings over half a century of experience to the art of pottery. This exquisite ceramic Matcha bowl, featuring a sophisticated cylindrical silhouette, is a vibrant fusion of traditional craft and contemporary artistic expression.

Designed to make your daily rituals feel truly special, this handmade piece is perfect as a personal indulgence or a memorable gift for someone who appreciates the finer things in life.

The Dimensional Beauty of "Kochi" Glaze

The standout feature of this bowl is the "Kochi" glaze—a traditional Kyoto technique known for its radiant, translucent colors and raised textures. Each delicate petal of the wisteria is meticulously hand-piped, creating a three-dimensional frame that gives the ceramic surface an unmistakable sense of luxury and depth.

This intricate handiwork ensures that each piece is a unique work of art, representing the soul of handmade Japanese pottery.

Timeless Elegance for Your Home

Combining time-honored techniques with a refined aesthetic, this bowl is a traditional masterpiece that fits seamlessly into modern lifestyles. While ideal for a mindful tea ceremony, its tall, elegant shape also makes it a beautiful choice for serving seasonal parfaits, a morning café au lait, or simply as an eye-catching display piece in your home.

Authentic Artist-Signed Gift Box

This Matcha bowl comes protected in a traditional paulownia wood box, reflecting the high quality of the artwork within. The calligraphy on the lid is hand-painted by the artist himself, serving as his personal signature of authenticity. It is a prestigious gift choice for weddings, anniversaries, or cultural celebrations.

*Please note: Each wooden box is custom-made; please allow up to 2 weeks for preparation.

Shop Owner’s Note

Set against a noble lavender-purple Kochi glaze, this bowl features elegant wisteria blossoms cascading down its tall, graceful sides. In Japan, Wisteria ("Fuji") has long been cherished as a symbol of longevity, prosperity, and nobility.

The rhythmic lines of the drooping blossoms create a wonderful sense of depth on the cylindrical surface, capturing the refreshing spirit of late spring. It is a piece that invites you to slow down and enjoy a peaceful moment, whether you're serving tea or your favorite dessert.
