Matcha Bowl – Rabbit and Golden Moon | KOTOPOTTER

Elegant Hand-painted Matcha Bowl from Kyoto

This handmade Kyoto matcha bowl depicts a rabbit gazing up at a golden moon — a motif deeply rooted in Japanese autumn traditions and poetry. The contrast between the warm gold and the muted glaze expresses tranquility and grace.

Each delicate brushstroke reveals the artist’s mastery of the Iroe (colored overglaze) technique, a hallmark of Kyoto pottery handed down through generations.

The graceful curves shaped on the potter’s wheel reflect both technical precision and a deep reverence for nature, blending Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetic refinement in one timeless piece.

The image of a rabbit gazing at a golden moon evokes quiet emotion and poetic beauty.

The subdued glaze and elevated foot lend the bowl a dignified, graceful presence.
