Chawan Haiyū Yuzu

Handmade matcha tea bowl decorated with hand-painted yuzu fruits. The bowl is coated with ash glaze (haiyū).

Yuzu is a traditional Japanese citrus fruit that has been used to flavor local cuisine for centuries. Yuzu is often associated with health, longevity, and good fortune. One of the most well-known traditions is the yuzu-yu (yuzu bath) during the winter solstice. On the shortest day of the year, people in Japan take hot baths infused with yuzu to ward off illness and bring good luck for the coming year.

Even up to now exquisite artistry and excellent craftsmanship are the core qualities of Kyo ware: each piece is modeled and decorated carefully by hand.

The tea bowl comes in a wooden box signed by the artist.
