Handmade and hand-painted tempered glass bowl decorated with scenes of the oldest remaining manga drawings (Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga - “Scrolls of Frolicking Animals”).
Chōjū-Giga, formally referred to as Chōjū-Jinbutsu-Giga literally means “Animal-person Caricatures". It is a set of four picture scrolls belonging to the Kōzan-ji temple located deep in the northern Kyoto mountains. It is an Important National Treasure believed to be painted around the 12-13 century.
The chawan borrowed its scene from the first scroll, which is also considered to be the most famous. This scroll illustrates anthropomorphic animals, rabbits, frogs, and monkeys bathing, playing, wrestling, and preparing for a ceremony. One of the scenes depicts a frog and a rabbit carrying a “chatsubo”, a tea storage jar. Kyoto has a reputation for having long, scorching, and humid summers, so to preserve the freshness of the tea leaves, tea makers had a tradition to carry and keep the tea jars on the top of Mount Hiei, the iconic mountain of Northern Kyoto, famous for its cool breezes.
A special edition for Summer.
The "badarai" bowls are flat and wide and often used in summer because their shape helps matcha cool faster.
It is heat resistant, and suitable for both hot and cold tea.
We ship the bowl in a Japanese paper gift box.
