Matcha Bowl - “Cherry Blossoms Everywhere” by Rakunyu

The soft appearance unique to Raku ware

Raku ware matcha bowls are vessels that originated from the Kyoto tea ceremony, with a history of approximately 400 years.
Shaped by hand without a potter's wheel, each piece naturally exhibits subtle variations.

The soft texture, fired at a low temperature, and the warmth felt in your hands.
The changing texture as you use it is also a charm unique to Raku ware.

Gentle painting using colored clay

Rakunyu matcha bowls are decorated with "namazuke" (unfired painting), where the design is applied directly to the raw clay.

By using colored clay instead of pigments, soft, subdued colors and a subtle three-dimensional effect are created.
This gentle style of painting is only possible with Raku ware, which is fired at low temperatures.

Seasonal motifs and charming designs blend naturally into tea ceremonies as well as everyday moments.

For tea ceremonies and everyday tea breaks

While valuing ease of use as a tea utensil, it's also a bowl that can be enjoyed casually.

You can use it as a vessel to feel the season even when preparing matcha at home.
Not only when in use, but simply by being displayed, it adds a gentle splash of color to your space.

Delivered in a wooden box inscribed by the artist

The matcha bowl will be sent in a wooden box inscribed by the artist.

Suitable for storage and specially prepared, it is also recommended as a gift.

*You can choose whether or not to have it wrapped.

A comment from the owner

This is a Raku ware matcha bowl depicting cherry blossoms in full bloom all over the bowl, against a pale pink background.

The soft texture unique to Rakunyu harmonizes beautifully with the vibrant colors that encapsulate the spring scenery.

It's a bright and celebratory piece that allows you to enjoy the arrival of spring with all your senses, along with the comforting warmth of Raku ware that fits comfortably in your hand.
