Shopkeeper's Comment

This is Ryoji's matcha bowl, featuring a soft landscape created by ash glaze separation, with ivy painted on it.

He meticulously depicts the gracefully spreading ivy leaves, expressing the vitality of nature and the changing seasons. Ivy has long been cherished as a symbol of prosperity and longevity. The natural shading unique to "kake-wake" (separated glazing) further enhances the impressive beauty of the leaves.

It is a profound bowl that harmonizes a rustic texture with calm painting.
