Matcha Bowl - Ginger Tabby Cat by Ryoji

A Charming Matcha Bowl Modeled After a Cat

A unique cat-themed matcha bowl handcrafted by Ryoji Nakamura.

The rim of the bowl features dainty cat ears, while the front displays a large, hand-painted cat face. From ginger tabbies and mackerel tabbies to black cats, each bowl captures the distinct fur color, markings, and expression of a cat with meticulous, hand-painted detail.

By blending traditional Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki techniques with a playful design that instantly catches the eye, Nakamura has created a delightful bowl that embodies his signature style.

A Delight to Admire and Use

Despite its striking appearance, this is a fully functional matcha bowl designed for preparing and enjoying tea.

When you cradle it in your hands, the cat's face looks up at you with an adorable expression. It adds a unique, playful touch to your tea-drinking moments that sets it apart from conventional matcha bowls.

It is a perfect gift for cat lovers and a great choice for those seeking a matcha bowl with a distinctive personality.

Unique Hand-Painted Expressions

Because the cat's face, fur, and markings are all hand-painted, every bowl features a slightly different expression.

With ginger tabbies, mackerel tabbies, black cats, and more, each has its own character, making it fun to collect and display them together.

Just as you might choose a favorite cat, we invite you to find your own unique feline matcha bowl.
