Matcha Bowl – Hina Doll Design | KOTOPOTTER

Elegant Kyoto Matcha Bowl with Hand-painted Hina Dolls

This matcha bowl, carefully hand-painted in Kyoto, Japan, embodies the timeless artistry of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery. The charming Hina doll motif adds a gentle touch of spring, reflecting the warmth and grace of the season.

The smooth, softly curved form—shaped on the potter’s wheel—highlights the mastery of the Iroe (colored overglaze) technique inherited by Jyosui Kato, one of Kyoto’s leading ceramic artists.
