Owner's Comment

This matcha bowl depicts wisteria flowers blooming freshly on a deep dark blue Kochi (glaze).

The deep blue glaze, reminiscent of a night sky, beautifully contrasts with the graceful purple of the drooping wisteria, creating a sense of tranquility with a touch of splendor. Wisteria has long been cherished as a symbol of elegance and longevity. The flowing, continuous blossoms lend a gentle movement to the entire vessel.

The rich colors enhance the vivid green of the matcha, making this bowl a perfect match for seasonal tea ceremonies. It is a piece that allows you to enjoy a cool, refreshing ambiance, evoking the feeling of early summer air.
