Traditional Kyo-Yaki (Kyoto Style)
Made by Tohan Dobuchi at Tohan Kiln

This pottery Matcha bowl creates an aura of elegance and nobility. This Matcha bowl is part of a new line of TENMOKU tea ware from Tohan Kiln. The shape is one of the traditional forms, which is used for TENMOKU Chawan. The shape matches the elegant glaze very well.

This bowl uses a glaze that forms a thin metallic film on the surface of ceramics, emitting an aurora-like iridescent sheen through light interference. It is a formula exclusively developed by this kiln. It shimmers with a pearlescent glow depending on the angle of light. Achieving this unstable coloration in a consistent and intentional way is extremely difficult, and it is something only this kiln can accomplish.

Gazing at this piece for any length of time never fully reveals its true nature. It remains elusive and mysterious, always just beyond your grasp. It changes its appearance under different lighting, whether in darkness, dim light, or bright light. Your eyes will inevitably follow the paths where the glaze drifts and settles, creating an atmosphere that feels almost otherworldly. No two pieces will ever be the same, and none will mirror yours.

With a single glance, you’ll find yourself captivated by the refined beauty of this Matcha bowl. Immerse yourself in Tohan’s world, a craftsmanship celebrated across many fields.

Specially packaged in a carton box.
Lead-free. Made in Japan.
(Please note that SEISAN crystal glaze pattern is a little different in each work because of the features of the glaze.)
