Ninsei Gakki Chawan

Handmade and hand-painted matcha tea bowl from the Ikkyu kiln.

The tea bowl is decorated with hand-painted camellias. By the time the last autumn leaves fall in Japan, camellias erupt in all kinds of red, purple, and white, and bloom all winter, until early spring. In Japan, they symbolize affection, devotion, and reunion with a loved one.

Kyo or Kiyomizu pottery looks back on 400 years of history and is now a symbol of Kyoto. To serve the desire of Aristocrats, tea masters, and culinary specialists of the era, Kyo or Kiyomizu pottery has incorporated design and artistry not only from Japan but also from China and the Korean Peninsula. Even now exquisite artistry and excellent craftsmanship are the core qualities of Kyo ware: each piece is modeled and decorated carefully by hand.

Place of origin: Kyoto, Japan
