Comment from the Owner

This "Ayame no Zu" matcha bowl from Shunzan Kiln features a striking, boldly sculpted form.

Irises bloom across the entire vessel, expressing the fresh scenery of early summer. The strong form, combined with the flowing leaves and vibrant flowers, creates a dynamic finish.

It is a compelling bowl that harmonizes ruggedness with delicate painting, characteristic of Shunzan Kiln.
