IRODORI SAKURA (handcrafted Matcha Bowl)

diameter: 4.92inch (12.5cm) height: 3.15inch (8cm), standard Matcha bowl size
Traditional Kyo-Yaki (Kyoto Style)
Made by Shunzan Mori at Shunzan Kiln

This is a sister work of KYO no HARU. IRODORI of this name means color or spice and SAKURA means cherry blossoms in Japanese. In contrast to the weeping cherry painted on KYO no HARU, SOMEI YOSHINO cherry is vividly painted on this Matcha Bowl. This is one of the best selling items at Shunzan Kiln as well as KYO no HARU due to the quality and the reasonable price.

SOMEI YOSHINO cherry is brightly, carefully and vividly painted on the side and inside. This should bring gaiety and calm peace to CHAKAI tea ceremony. Of course, this can be used throughout the year for any occasion.

The color and brushwork are vivid, and the whole atmosphere is gentle, a beautiful effect characteristic of Shunzan's expert artistry.

This Matcha bowl is the traditional standard Kyo Yaki shape. However, Shunzan has added a few special touches such as linear patterns carved on the side and a spiral on the lowest point of the bowl inside. The base is carefully carved to a unique shape. They all bring a gentle accent to the atmosphere.

Colorful patches of orange are called GOHONDE, a traditional technique that adds warmth to the atmosphere of the work. It is impossible to fully control the contrasting density of GOHONDE, so that GOHONDE is a little different in each work.

This Matcha bowl brings the cheerful feeling of walking through a field of flowers, an airy feeling of freshness. It will certainly add joy to your green moment.
