Matcha Bowl – Hand-painted Balloon Vine | KOTOPOTTER

Elegant Hand-painted Design, Rooted in Kyoto Tradition

This matcha bowl from Kyoto, Japan represents the timeless beauty of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery. Its hand-painted design captures the refined elegance of Japanese artistry, blending color, form, and spirit into one harmonious piece.

Each brushstroke expresses the painter’s delicate sensibility, evoking the graceful atmosphere of Kyoto. The bowl’s soft, rounded curves—shaped on the potter’s wheel—are complemented by the masterful Iroe (colored overglaze) technique perfected by Jyosui Kato.

The gentle white glaze pairs beautifully with the vivid hand-painted balloon vine, creating a fresh and lively impression.
