Comment from the Owner

This matcha bowl features an "Old Pine Tree" design on a bluish-purple Kochi glaze.

It powerfully depicts an old pine tree with branches spreading vigorously despite being covered in snow, impressively expressing its vitality. The gold accents applied here and there enhance the pine's strength and the quiet beauty of winter.

The old pine tree has been revered since ancient times as a symbol of longevity and permanence. The contrast with the vibrant green base color is also beautiful, creating a refined and dignified bowl.
