Matcha Bowl – White Camellia on Gray Glaze | KOTOPOTTER

Elegant Hand-painted Matcha Bowl from Kyoto

This handmade Kyoto matcha bowl features a white camellia motif delicately emerging from a subdued gray glaze. The soft tones and refined overglaze painting express the quiet beauty of Japanese traditional pottery.

Each brushstroke captures the artist’s deep sensibility, reflecting the elegant atmosphere of Kyoto through harmony and restraint.

The gently rounded form, shaped by hand on the potter’s wheel, is a testament to Jyosui Kato’s mastery of the Iroe (colored overglaze) technique passed down for generations.
