Matcha Bowl – Long-tailed Tit in a Snowy Landscape by Yohei

Kiyomizu Ware Tea Ceramics by Kaifū Yagi

Crafted in Yamashiro, Kyoto—an area close to Uji and deeply connected to Japanese tea culture—this matcha bowl is created by Kaifū Yagi, a kiln master devoted to traditional tea ceramics from Japan.

Its well-balanced form and refined silhouette reflect years of handmade craftsmanship, shaped with a deep understanding of Kyoto pottery and the aesthetics of tea.

Hand-Painted Details, Each One Unique

Each matcha bowl is finished by hand, with subtle variations in brushwork and spacing that give every piece its own personality.

No two bowls are exactly alike—this individuality is a hallmark of handmade ceramic art and part of the joy of choosing a piece that resonates with you.

Practical Elegance for Tea Time

From the depth of the bowl to the comfort of the rim and the balance in hand, every detail is thoughtfully shaped with everyday use in mind.

Suitable for both regular practice and relaxed daily tea moments, this bowl gently enhances your tea experience without distraction.

Owner’s Comment

A charming long-tailed tit is gently depicted resting on bare branches against a snowy winter landscape. The quiet scene is softened by the presence of this small bird, bringing warmth and life to the stillness of winter. A seasonal matcha bowl that offers comfort and calm each time you look at it.
