Matcha Bowl - Luster glaze “Floral Millefleur” C by Syunzan Kiln

Savor the Seasons of Kyoto

Founded in 1917 at the foot of Sennyu-ji Temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto, Shunzan-gama is a prestigious kiln that builds upon the traditional foundations of Kiyomizu-yaki. While honoring heritage, they pursue designs that harmonize with modern living. Each handmade piece features hand-painted floral motifs, bringing the delicate elegance of Kyoto's changing seasons to your table.

The Warmth of Artisanal Craftsmanship

The thick, earthy texture of the clay provides a comfortable feel in your hands, making this ceramic bowl an endearing companion for your tea rituals. Its gentle colors and pearlescent "Luster" glow bring a touch of "Miyabi" (refined Japanese aesthetic) to your daily life. The more you use this pottery, the more its character and charm will grow.

Art Built for Daily Joy

At Shunzan-gama, the philosophy is simple: "To be admired as art, and to bring joy through use." Despite its generous presence, this bowl is remarkably lightweight and balanced, reflecting the meticulous handmade care of the artisans. We invite you to integrate this masterpiece of Japanese traditional craft into your daily mindfulness practice.

Shop Owner’s Note

This exquisite bowl features pastel-toned flowers outlined with the traditional "Itchin" (slip-trailing) technique, creating a delicate, tactile relief. The sophisticated "Luster" glaze adds a modern, iridescent shimmer that gives the floral patterns a radiant, dreamlike quality.

While slightly larger in size, it is surprisingly easy to hold, making it an ideal choice for a celebratory spring tea ceremony. Each piece is delivered in a custom wooden box signed by the artist, making it a high-end gift that represents the peak of Kyoto pottery craftsmanship.
