Product description

This chawan belongs to that great family of ceramics that do not try to be beautiful, and for that very reason, are profoundly so. Its cream-colored glaze with rust-brown drips, the fine crackle running across its entire surface like the veins of an autumn leaf, its rough foot of nearly raw clay: everything here breathes authenticity, time, and that Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which sees imperfection as the most honest form of beauty.

Inspired by the Hagi-yaki tradition, one of Japan's most revered ceramics originating from the city of Hagi, this bowl possesses a rare quality: its living glaze evolves with use. As matcha is prepared over time, the tea seeps into the micro-cracks and gradually enriches the hues, making each bowl an even more unique piece as time goes by. The Japanese call this phenomenon nanabake, the seven transformations of Hagi.

>Only one piece available, for those who understand that the true value of an object is measured by the story it tells.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why soak this bowl before first use?

Soaking it in cold water for a few minutes prepares the crackle glaze before first use.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No, the crackles would absorb chemicals; wash it by hand in clean water, without soap or detergent.

Will the bowl's shades change with use?

Yes, they will deepen naturally over time, which is part of the quality sought in the wabi-sabi spirit.

How to use it?

A chawan is a Japanese tea bowl, here made for matcha, the powdered green tea whisked in hot water.
What it is for: you add the powder and water, whisk with a chasen, then drink straight from the bowl. Its wide shape leaves room for the whisking.
Before first use, soak the bowl in cold water for a few minutes. Warm it with hot water before each matcha.
Wash by hand in clear water, with no soap or detergent: the crazing would absorb chemicals. Never in the dishwasher.
Let it dry completely in the open air before putting it away.
With time and use, the tones deepen naturally.
Idea: bring it out for an afternoon tea for two, with a chasen and a small matcha scoop.
Good to know: sift the matcha before adding water for fewer lumps and a finer foam.
