Matcha Bowl - Brown Tabby Cat by Ryoji

A charming cat-shaped matcha bowl

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

The rim of the bowl features a pair of cute cat ears, while the front displays a large, hand-painted cat face. From ginger tabbies and mackerel tabbies to black cats, each piece captures the individual coat colors, patterns, and expressions of a cat through meticulous, hand-painted detail.

Using traditional techniques from Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery, this is a delightful bowl typical of Ryoji Nakamura, blending craftsmanship with a playful touch that is sure to catch the eye.

A delight to both look at and use

While its appearance is striking, this is a practical matcha bowl designed for properly whisking and enjoying tea.

When held in both hands, the cat’s face appears to peek out at you in an adorable way. It adds a unique, playful element to your matcha ritual that stands out from standard bowls.

It makes a wonderful gift for cat lovers and is also recommended for those seeking a one-of-a-kind matcha bowl.

Hand-painted expressions unique to each piece

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

Whether it is a ginger tabby, a brown mackerel tabby, or a black cat, each has its own distinct personality, making it a joy to collect and display them together.

Find your very own cat matcha bowl, just as you would choose a favorite pet.
