Graceful Hand-painted Design from Kyoto
This matcha bowl from Kyoto, Japan exemplifies the refined beauty of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery. Its hand-painted floral motif, full of seasonal charm, reflects the traditional elegance of Kyoto craftsmanship.
Each brushstroke carries the painter’s delicate sensibility, evoking the subtle atmosphere of Kyoto. The gentle curves shaped on the potter’s wheel highlight the Iroe (colored overglaze) technique perfected by Jyosui Kato, a master of traditional Japanese ceramics.

The Beauty of Kyoto Hand-painted Ceramics

Through fine brushwork and soft, layered colors, he portrays flowers and auspicious motifs that celebrate the harmony of nature — a hallmark of traditional Japanese pottery.

Owner's Comment
The hand-painted Fukujusō (Adonis flower), a symbol of early spring, adds a soft and joyful touch to this elegant bowl.
The slender, slightly tapered shape fits naturally in your hands, offering both balance and refinement.
Its gentle impression makes it a perfect companion for celebrating the beginning of a new season with tea.
